Divisibility Rule of 498

The divisibility rule for 498 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 498 or not without using the division method. Check whether 996 is divisible by 498 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by both 2 and 3. Since 498 is divisible by these numbers, a number divisible by 498 must also be divisible by 2 and 3.

For divisibility by 2: The last digit of the number should be even. In 996, the last digit is 6, which is even.

For divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits should be divisible by 3. The sum of the digits of 996 is 9 + 9 + 6 = 24, which is divisible by 3.
 

Since 996 passes both conditions, it is divisible by 498.
 

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 498.
 

• Know the multiples of 498: Memorize the multiples of 498 (498, 996, 1494, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number equals any multiple of 498, it is divisible.
   
• Check divisibility by factors: Since 498 = 2 × 3 × 83, ensure the number meets divisibility rules for each of these factors.
   
• Use the division method to verify: While the divisibility rule provides a quick check, using the division method can verify and crosscheck results and help in learning.
   

• Divisibility rule: Set of rules to determine if a number is divisible by another without division.
   
• Multiple: The product of a number and an integer. For example, multiples of 498 are 498, 996, 1494, etc.
   
• Factor: A number that divides another number without leaving a remainder. For example, 2, 3, and 83 are factors of 498.
   
• Even number: An integer divisible by 2. For example, 6 is an even number.
