<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>By applying the rule for 7, we double the last digit (2 × 2 = 4) and subtract it from the rest (133 - 4 = 129). Since 129 is divisible by 7, 1332 is divisible by 7.</p>
39
<p><strong>Divisibility by 11:</strong>The alternating sum of digits (1 - 3 + 3 - 2 = -1) is not divisible by 11, so 1332 is not divisible by 11.</p>
