What is the Divisibility Rule of 890?

The divisibility rule for 890 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 890 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 3560 is divisible by 890 with the divisibility rule.
 
Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 10, as 890 is divisible by 10. Here, 3560 ends in 0, so it is divisible by 10.

Step 2: Check the remaining number 356 (after removing the last digit) for divisibility by 89.

This is more complex than basic divisibility checks and often requires division or simplification, but here we'll use the fact that 356 divided by 89 results in a whole number (4), so it is divisible.

Step 3: Since the number 356 is divisible by 89 and the original number 3560 is divisible by 10, 3560 is divisible by 890.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 890

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 890.

 

Know the factors of 890:


Understand that 890 is composed of 89 and 10. This helps in checking divisibility by breaking the problem into simpler parts.

 

Use simplification:


If facing difficulty with direct checks, simplify the number by removing factors like 10 and then checking for divisibility by 89.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:


For large numbers, break them down and use these steps iteratively to simplify the check.

 

Use the division method to verify:


Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to confirm and also learn.

Problem 3

An auditorium has 2670 seats. Are these seats divisible evenly into sections of 890 seats each?

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

No, 2670 is not divisible by 890.

Explanation

To check if 2670 can be divided evenly by 890:

1) Perform the division 2670 ÷ 890 = 3 with a remainder.

2) Since there is a remainder, 2670 is not divisible by 890.

Problem 4

A train travels a distance of 4450 kilometers. Can this distance be divided evenly by 890 kilometers per segment?

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

No, 4450 is not divisible by 890.

Explanation

To determine if 4450 can be divided evenly by 890:

1) Perform the division 4450 ÷ 890 = 5 with a remainder.

2) Since there is a remainder, 4450 is not divisible by 890.
