Divisibility Rule of 419
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 419.
What is the Divisibility Rule of 419?
The divisibility rule for 419 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 419 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2095 is divisible by 419 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 4, here in 2095, 5 is the last digit. Multiply it by 4. 5×4=20
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 209–20=189.
Step 3: Check whether 189 is divisible by 419. If it is, then the original number is divisible by 419. If not, then the number is not divisible by 419.
Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 419
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 419.
Know the multiples of 419:
Memorize the multiples of 419 (419, 838, 1257, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 419, then the number is divisible by 419.
Use negative numbers:
If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will ignore the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number
Repeat the process for large numbers:
Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 419.
For example: Check if 6283 is divisible by 419 using the divisibility test.
Multiply the last digit by 4, i.e., 3×4=12.
Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 12, 628–12=616.
As 616 is a multiple of 419, 6283 is divisible by 419.
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.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Divisibility Rule of 419
The divisibility rule of 419 helps us quickly check if a given number is divisible by 419, but common mistakes like calculation errors lead to incorrect conclusions. Here we will understand some common mistakes that will help you to understand.
Mistake 1
Not following the correct steps.
Students should follow the correct steps, which are multiplying the last digit by 4 and then subtracting the result from the remaining digits excluding the last digit and checking whether it is a multiple of 419.
Divisibility Rule of 419 Examples
Problem 1
Is 2095 divisible by 419?
Yes, 2095 is divisible by 419.
Explanation
To check if 2095 is divisible by 419, follow these steps:
1) Multiply the last digit of the number by 5, 5 × 5 = 25.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 209 – 25 = 184.
3) Check if 184 is divisible by 419. Since 184 is not greater than 419, check 2095 directly. 2095 ÷ 419 = 5, which is an integer. Therefore, 2095 is divisible by 419.
Problem 2
Check the divisibility rule of 419 for 4619.
Yes, 4619 is divisible by 419.
Explanation
To verify if 4619 is divisible by 419, follow these steps:
1) Multiply the last digit of the number by 5, 9 × 5 = 45.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 461 – 45 = 416.
3) Check if 416 is divisible by 419. Since 416 is less than 419, check 4619 directly. 4619 ÷ 419 = 11, which is an integer. Thus, 4619 is divisible by 419.
Problem 3
Is -1257 divisible by 419?
No, -1257 is not divisible by 419.
Explanation
To determine if -1257 is divisible by 419, remove the negative sign and check:
1) Multiply the last digit of the number by 5, 7 × 5 = 35.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 125 – 35 = 90.
3) Check if 90 is divisible by 419. Since 90 is much smaller than 419, calculate directly: 1257 ÷ 419 ≈ 3.002. The result is not an integer, so -1257 is not divisible by 419.
Problem 4
Can 838 be divisible by 419 following the divisibility rule?
Yes, 838 is divisible by 419.
Explanation
To confirm if 838 is divisible by 419:
1) Multiply the last digit of the number by 5, 8 × 5 = 40.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 83 – 40 = 43.
3) Check if 43 is divisible by 419. Since 43 is less than 419, check 838 directly. 838 ÷ 419 = 2, which is an integer. Therefore, 838 is divisible by 419.
Problem 5
Check the divisibility rule of 419 for 1257.
No, 1257 is not divisible by 419.
Explanation
To check if 1257 is divisible by 419:
1) Multiply the last digit of the number by 5, 7 × 5 = 35.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 125 – 35 = 90.
3) Check if 90 is divisible by 419. Since 90 is not greater than 419, calculate directly: 1257 ÷ 419 ≈ 3.002. The result is not an integer, so 1257 is not divisible by 419.
