Divisibility Rule of 406

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 406.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 406?

The divisibility rule for 406 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 406 or not without using the division method. Check whether 81212 is divisible by 406 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Take the last three digits of the number. Here in 81212, the last three digits are 212.

 

Step 2: Check if the number formed by the last three digits (212) is divisible by 406. If it is, then the whole number is divisible by 406.

 

Step 3: As 212 is not a multiple of 406, the number 81212 is not divisible by 406. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 406, then the number is divisible by 406.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 406

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 406.

 

Know the multiples of 406:  


Memorize the multiples of 406 (406, 812, 1218, 1624, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the last three digits form a multiple of 406, then the number is divisible by 406.

 

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.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:  


Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach the last three digits to check easily.
