What is the Divisibility Rule of 851?

The divisibility rule for 851 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 851 without using the division method. Check whether 1702 is divisible by 851 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number can be written as a multiple of 851. For example, 1702 can be split into two parts: 851 multiplied by 2.

 

Step 2: If the number equals 851 times an integer, then it is divisible by 851. Here, since 1702 = 851 × 2, 1702 is divisible by 851.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 851

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 851.

Know the multiples of 851: Memorize the multiples of 851 (851, 1702, 2553, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number is a multiple of 851, then it is divisible by 851.

 

Use estimation:

 

If you have a large number, estimate whether it is close to a multiple of 851. This can simplify your calculations.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

For large numbers, verify that the number can be expressed as a multiple of 851. 

 

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 2553 divisible by 851?

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

 Yes, 2553 is divisible by 851.  
 

Explanation

To check if 2553 is divisible by 851, we can use the following method:  


1) Divide the number 2553 by 851.  


2) If the quotient is a whole number, then 2553 is divisible by 851.  


3) Performing the division, 2553 ÷ 851 = 3, which is a whole number.  


Therefore, 2553 is divisible by 851.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 851 for 4255.

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

No, 4255 is not divisible by 851.

Explanation

To check if 4255 is divisible by 851, follow these steps:  


1) Divide 4255 by 851.  


2) If the quotient is a whole number, then it is divisible. Otherwise, it is not.  


3) Performing the division, 4255 ÷ 851 ≈ 4.999, which is not a whole number.  


Therefore, 4255 is not divisible by 851.

Problem 3

Is -1702 divisible by 851?

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

No, -1702 is not divisible by 851. 

Explanation

 To determine if -1702 is divisible by 851, perform the following calculation:  


1) Remove the negative sign and divide 1702 by 851.  


2) If the result is a whole number, then it is divisible.  


3) 1702 ÷ 851 = 2, which is a whole number.  

However, since the original number was negative, we must check the absolute value:  


4) -1702 is still not divisible by 851 because the negative factor is irrelevant in divisibility checks.
