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 29.
The divisibility rule for 29 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 29 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1450 is divisible by 29 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 3, here in 1450, 0 is the last digit, multiply it by 3. 0 × 3 = 0
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 145–0 = 145.
Step 3: As it is shown that 145 is not a multiple of 29, therefore, the number is not divisible by 29. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 29, then the number is divisible by 29.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 29.
The divisibility rule of 29 helps us to quickly check if the given number is divisible by 29, but common mistakes like calculation errors lead to incorrect calculations. Here we will understand some common mistakes that will help you to understand.
Is 319 divisible by 29?
Yes, 319 is divisible by 29.
To determine if 319 is divisible by 29, we apply the rule:
1) Double the last digit, 9 × 2 = 18.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining leading numbers, 31 - 18 = 13.
3) Check if 13 is a multiple of 29. Since it's not, 319 is not divisible by 29. (Note: I apologize for any earlier errors. Correctly, 13 indicates 319 is not divisible by 29, but this example checks for understanding.)
Check the divisibility of 493 for 29.
Yes, 493 is divisible by 29.
Using the divisibility rule for 29:
1) Double the last digit, 3 × 2 = 6.
2) Subtract this result from the rest of the number, 49 - 6 = 43.
3) Check if 43 is divisible by 29. Since it's not, this example should show the process and understanding; hence, 493 is not divisible by 29.
Is 580 divisible by 29?
No, 580 is not divisible by 29.
Applying the divisibility rule for 29 to 580:
1) Double the last digit, 0 × 2 = 0.
2) Subtract this result from the remaining digits, 58 - 0 = 58.
3) Check if 58 is a multiple of 29. Since 58 is not a multiple of 29, 580 is not divisible by 29.
Can 812 be divisible by 29 using the divisibility rule?
No, 812 is not divisible by 29.
To check:
1) Double the last digit, 2 × 2 = 4.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, 81 - 4 = 77.
3) Check if 77 is a multiple of 29. Since 77 is not a multiple of 29, 812 is not divisible by 29.
Check the divisibility of 348 for 29.
No, 348 is not divisible by 29.
Using the divisibility rule for 29:
1) Double the last digit, 8 × 2 = 16.
2) Subtract this result from the rest of the number, 34 - 16 = 18.
3) Since 18 is not a multiple of 29, 348 is not divisible by 29.
