Divisibility Rule of 95

The divisibility rule for 95 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 95 or not without using the division method. Check whether 570 is divisible by 95 with the divisibility rule.  
 

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 9. Here in 570, 0 is the last digit, so multiply it by 9. 0 × 9 = 0.
 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 57 - 0 = 57.
 

Step 3: Divide the result from Step 2 by 10 (since 95 = 10 × 9 + 5). If the quotient is a multiple of 9 and the remainder is 5, the number is divisible by 95. Here, 57 ÷ 10 = 5 remainder 7 (not divisible since remainder is not 5).

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 95.

• Know the multiples of 95: Memorize the multiples of 95 (95, 190, 285, 380, 475… etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the calculation shows the number is a multiple of 95, then it is divisible by 95.
   
• 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 verify and also learn.
   

• Divisibility Rule: The set of rules used to determine whether a number is divisible by another number. For instance, a number is divisible by 95 if, following the rule, it meets specific conditions.
   
• Multiples: The results obtained after multiplying a number by an integer. For example, multiples of 95 are 95, 190, 285, 380, etc.
   
• Integers: Numbers that include all whole numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
   
• Subtraction: The process of finding the difference between two numbers by reducing one number from another.
   
• Division: The process of determining how many times one number is contained within another.
