When my child try  reduce 99/141, bigger number easily cause calculation mistake, she thinks she could not divide by 3. I think it could be very beneficial if she know Divisibility rule.

You don't need teach all numbers, only prime number less than 20, which is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19
Any idea to make problem easily done?
