What is the Divisibility Rule of 472?

The divisibility rule for 472 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 472 or not without using the division method. Check whether 944 is divisible by 472 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Divide the number into three parts from the right in groups of three, starting from the units place. Here in 944, since it is not three digits long, consider it as 000944.

 

Step 2: Check if the number 944 is divisible by 472. Since it is, 944 is divisible by 472.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 472

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 472.

 

  • Know the multiples of 472: Memorize the multiples of 472 (472, 944, 1416, 1888, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number in question is a multiple of 472, then it is divisible by 472.

 

  • Use subtraction for large numbers: Break down large numbers into smaller parts. For example, if the number is 1416, you can verify by subtracting 944 (a multiple of 472), which leaves 472. Since 472 is a multiple, 1416 is divisible by 472.

 

  • 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.
