What is the Divisibility Rule of 949?

The divisibility rule for 949 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 949 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2847 is divisible by 949 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Take the last three digits of the number, here in 2847, 847 is the last three digits.

Step 2: Subtract 847 from the remaining digits. Since there are no digits left, it results in 0. 

Step 3: If the result is 0 or a multiple of 949, then the number is divisible by 949. In this case, since there are no remaining digits, 2847 is not divisible by 949.divisibility rule of 949

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 949

Learning the divisibility rule will help you master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 949.
 

Know the multiples of 949:  


Memorize the multiples of 949 (949, 1898, 2847... etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 949, then the number is divisible by 949.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:  


You should keep repeating the divisibility process until you reach a small number that is divisible by 949.  
For example, check if 5694 is divisible by 949 using the divisibility test.  
Take the last three digits, 694, and subtract from the remaining number, 5. Since 5 is not a multiple of 949, 5694 is not divisible by 949.

 

Use the division method to verify:  


You can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck your results. This will help you verify and also learn.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 949 for 1898.

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

No, 1898 is not divisible by 949.

Explanation

To check the divisibility rule of 949 for 1898:

1) Since 1898 is smaller than twice 949, check if it's a multiple of 949.


2) Divide 1898 by 949, which results in approximately 2.000.


3) Since 1898 is not exactly 2 times 949, it is not divisible by 949.
