Divisibility Rule of 232

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to find out whether a number is divisible by another number without using the division method. In real life, we can use the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 232.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 232?

The divisibility rule for 232 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 232 or not without using the division method. Check whether 464 is divisible by 232 with the divisibility rule.


Step 1: Divide the number into two parts where the last three digits form one part. In 464, consider 464 itself as the number is less than 1000.


Step 2: Check if the number is a multiple of 232. Here, 464 divided by 232 equals 2, which is an integer.


Step 3: Since 2 is an integer, the number 464 is divisible by 232. If the division doesn't result in an integer, the number isn't divisible by 232.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 232

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 232.

 

Know the multiples of 232:

 

Memorize the multiples of 232 (232, 464, 696, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the number is a multiple of 232, then it is divisible by 232.


Use exact division:

 

If the result after dividing by 232 is an integer, then the number is divisible by 232.


Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

Students should keep repeating the divisibility process with larger numbers until they reach a conclusion. For example, check if 696 is divisible by 232 using the divisibility rule. Divide 696 by 232, which equals 3. Since 3 is an integer, 696 is divisible by 232.


Use the division method to verify:

 

Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
