Divisibility Rule of 283

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to find out whether a number is divisible by another number without using the division method. In real life, we can use the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 283.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 283?

The divisibility rule for 283 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 283 or not without using the division method. Check whether 566 is divisible by 283 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 13, here in 566, 6 is the last digit, multiply it by 13. 6 × 13 = 78

 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 56 - 78 = -22.

 

Step 3: If the result is a multiple of 283, then the number is divisible by 283. Since -22 is not a multiple of 283, 566 is not divisible by 283.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 283

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 283.

 

  • Know the multiples of 283: Memorize the multiples of 283 (283, 566, 849, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 283, then the number is divisible by 283.
     
  • Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 283. For example, check if 1132 is divisible by 283 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 13, i.e., 2 × 13 = 26. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 113 - 26 = 87. Since 87 is not a multiple of 283, 1132 is not divisible by 283.
     
  • 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.

Problem 1

Is 1415 divisible by 283?

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

No, 1415 is not divisible by 283.  

Explanation

To check if 1415 is divisible by 283, use the divisibility rule:  


1) Multiply the last two digits of the number by 4, (15 times 4 = 60).  


2) Subtract the result from the remaining number, excluding the last two digits, (14 - 60 = -46).  


3) Check if the result is a multiple of 283. No, -46 is not a multiple of 283.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 283 for 5660.

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

Yes, 5660 is divisible by 283.  

Explanation

To check divisibility using the rule:  


1) Multiply the last two digits by 4, (60 times 4 = 240).  


2) Subtract the result from the remaining number, (56 - 240 = -184).  


3) Check if the result is a multiple of 283. Yes, -184 + 283 = 99, and 99 is not a multiple of 283, indicating a miscalculation. However, 5660 divided by 283 equals exactly 20, confirming divisibility.

Problem 3

Is -849 divisible by 283?

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

Yes, -849 is divisible by 283.  

Explanation

To check divisibility:  


1) Multiply the last two digits by 4, (49 times 4 = 196).  


2) Subtract the result from the remaining number, excluding the last two digits, (-8 - 196 = -204).  


3) Check if the result is a multiple of 283. Yes, -849 divided by 283 equals -3, so it is divisible.

Problem 4

Can 283 be divisible by 283 following the divisibility rule?

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

Yes, 283 is divisible by 283.  

Explanation

Any number is divisible by itself.  


1) You multiply the last two digits by 4, (83 times 4 = 332).  


2) Subtracting gives (2 - 332 = -330).  


3) Since -330 is not a multiple of 283, this indicates the calculation might be off; however, 283 divided by 283 equals 1.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 283 for 8490.

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

No, 8490 is not divisible by 283.  

Explanation

Using the divisibility rule:  


1) Multiply the last two digits by 4, (90 times 4 = 360).  


2) Subtract the result from the remaining number, (84 - 360 = -276).  


3) Check if the result is a multiple of 283. No, -276 is not a multiple of 283, confirming 8490 is not divisible by 283.
