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 873.
The divisibility rule for 873 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 873 or not without using the division method. Check whether 8730 is divisible by 873 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Find the sum of the digits of the number. Here in 8730, the sum is 8 + 7 + 3 + 0 = 18.
Step 2: Check if the sum obtained in Step 1 is divisible by 873. Since 18 is not divisible by 873, 8730 is not divisible by 873.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 873.
Memorize the multiples of 873 (873, 1746, 2619, 3492, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the sum of the digits is a multiple of 873, then the number is divisible by 873.
The process involves checking the sum of the digits of the number, which simplifies the verification of divisibility.
Students should keep repeating the process of summing the digits until they reach a small sum that is easily checked for divisibility by 873.
Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them verify and also learn.
