Well, on the side of easy ones there is "if the last digit is divisible by 2, whole number is divisible by 2". Also works for 5. And if you take last 2 digits, it works for 4. And the legendary "if it ends with 0, it's divisible by 10".

There’s also the classic “no three positive integers a, b, and c to satisfy a**n + b**n = c**n for values of n greater than 2“ trick but my proof is too large to fit in this comment.
