What is the Divisibility Rule of 974?

The divisibility rule for 974 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 974 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1948 is divisible by 974 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Break down 974 into its prime factors, which are 2, 487. Check the divisibility of the number by these prime factors. 

 

Step 2: First, check if the number is divisible by 2. Since the last digit of 1948 is 8, which is even, 1948 is divisible by 2. Divide 1948 by 2 to get 974.

 

Step 3: Now check if 974 is divisible by 487. Since 974 is exactly 487 multiplied by 2, 974 is divisible by 487. 

 

Step 4: Since 1948 is divisible by 2 and 974 is divisible by 487, 1948 is divisible by 974.
