How to conditional format a cell if NOT divisible by certain number in Excel?

I need to be alerted when certain cells are NOT divisible by 15 - either by changing text color or cell color.

I am manually inputting numbers provided by staff and certain columns need to be divisible by 15 or I get errors in other places. These numbers pull into formulas on a different tab, but do not have any other formatting on the cell they are entered. I understand how to use conditional formatting but all of the formulas I have tried or found online are not working.

Example : 310 would be flagged as not divisible by 15, 315 would not be flagged as it is divisible by 15.

    That was so simple. I don't know why all the other answers were making it so complicated. Thank you!
