What is the Divisibility Rule of 966?

The divisibility rule for 966 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 966 without using the division method. Check whether 1932 is divisible by 966 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 2, 3, and 161, since 966 = 2 × 3 × 161.


For divisibility by 2: The number must end in an even digit. 1932 ends in 2, which is even.

For divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits of the number must be divisible by 3. 1 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 15, and 15 is divisible by 3.

For divisibility by 161: Use the division method or check if the number follows a specific pattern for divisibility by 161.

 

Step 2: If the number is divisible by 2, 3, and 161, then it is also divisible by 966.
