What is the Divisibility Rule of 897?

The divisibility rule for 897 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 897 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 1794 is divisible by 897 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Break down 897 into its prime factors: 897 = 3 × 13 × 23.

Step 2: Check if 1794 is divisible by 3, 13, and 23 using their respective divisibility rules.

Divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits of 1794 is 1+7+9+4 = 21, which is divisible by 3.

Divisibility by 13: Double the last digit (4) and subtract it from the rest of the number: 179 - 8 = 171, which is divisible by 13.

Divisibility by 23: Multiply the last digit by 9 and subtract it from the rest: 179 - 36 = 143, which is divisible by 23.

Step 3: Since 1794 is divisible by 3, 13, and 23, it is divisible by 897.
