Divisibility Rule of 442

The divisibility rule for 442 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 442 or not without using the division method. Check whether 884 is divisible by 442 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Identify if the number is an even number. 884 is an even number.

Step 2: Divide the number by 2 to get a smaller number. 884 ÷ 2 = 442.

Step 3: As the result is 442, which is a multiple of 442, the original number is divisible by 442. If the result from step 2 isn't 442, then the number isn't divisible by 442.

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 442.

• Know the multiples of 442: Memorize the multiples of 442 (442, 884, 1326, 1768, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the division is a multiple of 442, the number is divisible by 442.
   
• Use the even number rule: If a number is not even, it cannot be divisible by 442. This helps quickly eliminate many numbers.
   
• Repeat the process for large numbers: For large numbers, divide by 2 repeatedly until you reach a smaller number that is easy to check for divisibility by 442.
   
• 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.

• Divisibility rule: A set of rules used to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without performing division directly.
