Divisibility Rule of 953

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 953.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 953?

The divisibility rule for 953 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 953 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1906 is divisible by 953 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 5, here in 1906, 6 is the last digit, multiply it by 5. 6 × 5 = 30 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 190–30 = 160.


Step 3: As it is shown that 160 is not a multiple of 953, therefore, the number is not divisible by 953. If the result from Step 2 is a multiple of 953, then the number is divisible by 953.divisibility rule of 953

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 953

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 953. 
 

Know the multiples of 953:


Memorize the multiples of 953 (953, 1906, 2859, … etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 953, then the number is divisible by 953.

 

Use the negative numbers:


If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and 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 953.

For example: Check if 3812 is divisible by 953 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 5, i.e., 2 × 5 = 10.

Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 10, 381–10 = 371.

Still, 371 is not a multiple of 953, hence 3812 is not divisible by 953.

 

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.
