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 994.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 994?

The divisibility rule for 994 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 994 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1988 is divisible by 994 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Divide the number into two halves: here, 1988 becomes 19 and 88.


Step 2: Check if both halves are divisible by 994. If they are, then the full number is divisible by 994. In this case, both 19 and 88 are not divisible by 994, so 1988 is not divisible by 994.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 994

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master the division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 994.

 

Know the multiples of 994:


Memorize the multiples of 994 (994, 1988, 2982, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If both halves of the number are multiples of 994, then the number is divisible by 994.

 

Use approximation:


For very large numbers, approximate the halves and check for divisibility. This can sometimes give a quick indication of divisibility.

 

Use the division method to verify:


Students can use the division method to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.

Problem 4

Can 2991 be divisible by 994 following the divisibility rule?

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

 No, 2991 isn't divisible by 994.
 

Explanation

To check if 2991 is divisible by 994, we divide 2991 by 994. 


2991 ÷ 994 ≈ 3.007


Since the quotient is not a whole number, 2991 is not divisible by 994.
