What is the Divisibility Rule of 297?

The divisibility rule for 297 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 297 or not without using the division method. Check whether 594 is divisible by 297 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 3. The sum of the digits of 594 is 5+9+4=18, which is divisible by 3.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 9. The sum of the digits, 18, is also divisible by 9.

 

Step 3: Check if the number is divisible by 11. The alternating sum of the digits of 594 is 5-9+4=0, which is divisible by 11.

 

Step 4: Since 594 is divisible by 3, 9, and 11, it is divisible by 297.

Problem 1

Is 891 divisible by 297?

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

Yes, 891 is divisible by 297.

Explanation

To check if 891 is divisible by 297, we can use the divisibility rule for 297, which is a composite number (297 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 11). 


1) First, check if 891 is divisible by 3. Sum the digits: 8 + 9 + 1 = 18, which is divisible by 3.


2) Next, check if 891 is divisible by 11. Alternate sum of digits: (8 - 9 + 1 = 0), which is divisible by 11.


3) Since 891 is divisible by both 3 and 11, it is also divisible by 297.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 297 for 1782.

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

Yes, 1782 is divisible by 297.

Explanation

To verify if 1782 is divisible by 297, use the divisibility components.


1) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits is 1 + 7 + 8 + 2 = 18, which is divisible by 3.


2) Check divisibility by 11: Alternating sum of digits is (1 - 7 + 8 - 2 = 0), which is divisible by 11.


3) Since 1782 meets the criteria for both, it is divisible by 297.

Problem 3

Is 594 divisible by 297?

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

Yes, 594 is divisible by 297.

Explanation

To determine if 594 is divisible by 297, follow the steps:


1) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits is 5 + 9 + 4 = 18, which is divisible by 3.


2) Check divisibility by 11: Alternating sum of digits is (5 - 9 + 4 = 0), which is divisible by 11.


3) Since 594 is divisible by both 3 and 11, it is divisible by 297.

Problem 4

Can 374 be divisible by 297 using the divisibility rule?

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

No, 374 is not divisible by 297.

Explanation

To check if 374 is divisible by 297, apply the divisibility checks:


1) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits is 3 + 7 + 4 = 14, which is not divisible by 3.


2) Since 374 fails the divisibility test for 3, it is not divisible by 297.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 297 for 2376.

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

Yes, 2376 is divisible by 297.

Explanation

To check if 2376 is divisible by 297, use the rules for divisibility.


1) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits is 2 + 3 + 7 + 6 = 18, which is divisible by 3.


2) Check divisibility by 11: Alternating sum of digits is (2 - 3 + 7 - 6 = 0), which is divisible by 11.


3) Since 2376 is divisible by both 3 and 11, it is divisible by 297.
