Divisibility Rule of 508

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 508.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 508?

The divisibility rule for 508 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 508 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1016 is divisible by 508 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Check if the number is even. 1016 is even, so we proceed.

Step 2: Divide the number by 4. 1016 divided by 4 equals 254.

Step 3: Divide the result from Step 2 by 127 (508 divided by 4 is 127). 254 divided by 127 equals 2.

Step 4: If the result is an integer, then the number is divisible by 508. Since 2 is an integer, 1016 is divisible by 508.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 508

Learning divisibility rules will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 508.

Know the multiples of 508: Memorize the multiples of 508 (508, 1016, 1524, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the division is an integer, then the number is divisible by 508.

Check even numbers: If the number is not even, it is not divisible by 508.

Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is clearly divisible by 508. For instance, check if 2032 is divisible by 508 using the divisibility test. 2032 is even, so divide by 4, which gives 508. Since 508 divided by 127 equals 4 (an integer), 2032 is divisible by 508.

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.
