Divisibility Rule of 860

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 860.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 860?

The divisibility rule for 860 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 860 or not without using the division method. Check whether 3440 is divisible by 860 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number ends in a zero. Here, 3440 ends in a zero, so we move to the next step.

 

Step 2: Divide the remaining number (ignoring the last zero) by 86. Here, we divide 344 by 86. 344 ÷ 86 = 4.

 

Step 3: Since 344 is divisible by 86, the original number 3440 is divisible by 860. If the result from step 2 isn't an integer, then the number isn't divisible by 860.divisibility rule of 860

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 860

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 860.

 

Know the multiples of 86:


Memorize the multiples of 86 (86, 172, 258, 344…etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the division is an integer, then the number is divisible by 860.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:


Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 86. For example, check if 8600 is divisible by 860 using the divisibility test. 8600 ends in a zero, so we divide 860 by 86, resulting in 10. Since 10 is an integer, 8600 is divisible by 860.

 

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 verify and also learn.

Problem 4

Can 1080 be divisible by 860 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 1080 isn't divisible by 860.

Explanation

To check if 1080 is divisible by 860:


1) Confirm divisibility by 10 (it is, as it ends in 0).


2) Check divisibility by 86: Divide 108 by 86, which is not an integer.
Therefore, 1080 is not divisible by 860.
