What is the Divisibility Rule of 850?

The divisibility rule for 850 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 850 or not without using the division method. To check whether a number is divisible by 850, it must be divisible by both 2 and 425 (since 850 = 2 × 425). A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even. For 425, a number is divisible if it ends in 25, 50, 75, or 00.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 850

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 850.

 

1. Check Divisibility by 2:


Ensure the last digit of the number is even. If it is, the number passes the divisibility rule for 2.

 

2. Check Divisibility by 425:


Ensure the number ends in 25, 50, 75, or 00. If it does, the number passes the divisibility rule for 425.

 

3. Combine Both Checks:


A number is divisible by 850 if it passes both the checks above.

 

4. 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.
