Divisibility Rule of 761

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without using the division method. In real life, we can use divisibility rules for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting items. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 761.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 761?

The divisibility rule for 761 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 761 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2283 is divisible by 761 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 2283, 3 is the last digit, multiply it by 2. 3 × 2 = 6.

Step 2: Subtract this result from Step 1 from the remaining values, excluding the last digit. i.e., 228–6 = 222.

Step 3: Check if 222 is divisible by 761. If not, the original number is not divisible by 761. In this case, 222 is not divisible by 761, so 2283 is not divisible by 761.divisibility rule of 761

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 761

Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 761.
 

  • Know the multiples of 761: Memorize the multiples of 761 (761, 1522, 2283, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 761, then the number is divisible by 761.
     
  • Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 761.

    For example, check if 4569 is divisible by 761 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 9 × 2 = 18.

    Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 18, 456–18 = 438. Since 438 is not divisible by 761, 4569 is not divisible by 761.
     
  • 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.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility of 1522 by 761.

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

No, 1522 is not divisible by 761.

Explanation

To determine if 1522 is divisible by 761:

1) Divide the number by 761, 1522 ÷ 761 ≈ 2.

2) Check if the result is an integer with no remainder. No, the result is approximately 2, not an exact integer.

3) Hence, 1522 is not divisible by 761.
