What is the Divisibility Rule of 502?

The divisibility rule for 502 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 502 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1506 is divisible by 502 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Check if the number ends with '006'. If the number ends with '006', you can proceed to the next step. Here, the last three digits of 1506 are '506', not '006'.

Step 2: If the last three digits are not '006', the number is not divisible by 502.

Step 3: Since 506 is not '006', 1506 is not divisible by 502.

Problem 1

Is 1506 divisible by 502?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 1506 is divisible by 502.  
 

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 1506 by 502, follow these steps:
 
1) Consider the first three digits as a separate number, which is 150.  
2) Check if 150 is a multiple of 502. In this case, 150 is not a multiple of 502, but since we are considering the full number (1506), we must see if 1506 is divisible by 502.  

3) Divide 1506 by 502, and you get 3 with no remainder, so 1506 is divisible by 502.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 502 for 2510.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 2510 is not divisible by 502.  
 

Explanation

For checking the divisibility of 2510 by 502, follow these steps:
 
1) Consider the first three digits, which are 251.  

2) Check if 251 is a multiple of 502. Since 251 is not a multiple of 502, divide 2510 by 502.
 
3) The division gives a quotient of 5 with a remainder, indicating 2510 is not divisible by 502.

Problem 3

Is -1004 divisible by 502?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 Yes, -1004 is divisible by 502. 

Explanation

 To check if -1004 is divisible by 502, remove the negative sign and follow these steps:  
1) Consider the first three digits, which are 100.  

2) Check if 100 is a multiple of 502. Since it is not, divide 1004 by 502.  

3) The division results in a quotient of 2 with no remainder, indicating that -1004 is divisible by 502.

Problem 4

Can 503 be divisible by 502 following the divisibility rule?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 503 isn't divisible by 502.  
 

Explanation

To check if 503 is divisible by 502, follow these steps:
 
1) Consider the number as a whole since it's close to 502.  

2) Check if 503 is a multiple of 502. Since 503 divided by 502 gives a quotient of 1 with a remainder, 503 is not divisible by 502.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 502 for 1506.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 1506 is divisible by 502.

Explanation

 To verify if 1506 is divisible by 502, follow these steps:  
1) Consider the first three digits, which are 150.  
2) Check if 150 is a multiple of 502. Since it is not, divide 1506 by 502.  
3) The division results in a quotient of 3 with no remainder, confirming that 1506 is divisible by 502.
