Divisibility Rule of 976

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 976.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 976?

The divisibility rule for 976 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 976 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2928 is divisible by 976 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Separate the number into groups of three digits starting from the right. For 2928, we separate it into 2 and 928.

 

Step 2: Multiply the leftmost group (or single digit if it's less than three digits) by 976. Here, 2 × 976 = 1952.

 

Step 3: Add the result from Step 2 to the rightmost group. 1952 + 928 = 2880.

 

Step 4: If the result from Step 3 is a multiple of 976, then the number is divisible by 976. Since 2880 is not a multiple of 976, 2928 is not divisible by 976.
