What is the Divisibility Rule of 868?

The divisibility rule for 868 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 868 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1736 is divisible by 868 with this divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is large enough to be potentially divisible by 868. Since 1736 is greater than 868, we proceed to the next step.

 

Step 2: Divide the number by 868 and check if the remainder is zero. For 1736 ÷ 868, the result is 2 with no remainder.

 

Step 3: As there is no remainder, 1736 is divisible by 868. If there was a remainder, the number would not be divisible by 868.divisibility rule of 868

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 868

Learning divisibility rules will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 868.

 

Know the multiples of 868:

 

Memorize the multiples of 868 (868, 1736, 2604, etc.) to quickly check divisibility.

 

Use estimation:

 

If the number is close to a multiple of 868, perform a quick estimation to verify divisibility.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

Students should keep repeating the estimation process until they reach a number that is close to a multiple of 868.

 

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 1736 divisible by 868?

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

Yes, 1736 is divisible by 868.

Explanation

To determine if 1736 is divisible by 868, we follow these steps:


1) Double the last three digits of the number: 736 × 2 = 1472.


2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits: 1736 - 1472 = 264.


3) Check if the result (264) is a multiple of 868. Since 264 is not a multiple of 868, we realize the error in subtraction, confirming 1736 is divisible as 1736 = 868 × 2.

Problem 2

Can 2604 be divided evenly by 868 using its divisibility rule?

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

Yes, 2604 is divisible by 868.

Explanation

To check if 2604 is divisible by 868, follow these steps:


1) Double the last three digits: 604 × 2 = 1208.


2) Subtract from the rest of the number: 2604 - 1208 = 1396.


3) Check if 1396 is a multiple of 868. Subtract again: 1396 - 868 = 528, not zero, so recheck: 2604 = 868 × 3.

Problem 3

Is 8680 divisible by 868?

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

Yes, 8680 is divisible by 868.

Explanation

To verify divisibility of 8680 by 868, follow these steps:


1) Double the last three digits: 680 × 2 = 1360.


2) Subtract from the leading digit: 8680 - 1360 = 7320.


3) Check if 7320 is divisible by 868. Recalculate: 8680 = 868 × 10.

Problem 4

Determine if 4340 can be evenly divided by 868.

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

Yes, 4340 is divisible by 868.

Explanation

To check divisibility of 4340 by 868, perform the following steps:


1) Double the last three digits: 340 × 2 = 680.


2) Subtract from the remaining digits: 4340 - 680 = 3660.


3) Check if 3660 is divisible by 868. Recalculate: 4340 = 868 × 5.

Problem 5

Is 17360 divisible by 868?

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

Yes, 17360 is divisible by 868.

Explanation

To determine if 17360 is divisible by 868, use the following steps:


1) Double the last three digits: 360 × 2 = 720.


2) Subtract from the leading digits: 17360 - 720 = 16640.


3) Check if 16640 is divisible by 868. Recalculate: 17360 = 868 × 20.
