What is the Divisibility Rule of 249?

The divisibility rule for 249 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 249 or not without using the division method.

 

Check whether 747 is divisible by 249 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Break down 249 into its factors: 249 = 3 × 83.


Step 2: Check divisibility by 3: Add up all the digits of the number. If the sum is divisible by 3, proceed to the next step. For 747, 7 + 4 + 7 = 18, which is divisible by 3.


Step 3: Check divisibility by 83: Divide the number by 83 and check for a whole number. 747 ÷ 83 = 9, which is a whole number.


Step 4: Since 747 is divisible by both 3 and 83, it is divisible by 249.divisibility rule of 249
