Six newspapers divided by six papers per delivery route = one delivery route.
12 newspapers divided by six papers per delivery route = two delivery routes.
newspapers divided by six papers per delivery route = 
delivery routes.
Which, of course, only makes sense if is a positive integer evenly divisible by six. Any even integer where the sum of the digits is evenly divisible by three is divisible by six. For example, 54 is a positive even integer and 5 plus 4 is 9 which is evenly divisible by 3. Is 78 evenly divisible by 6?
