Divisibility Rule of 200

The divisibility rule for 200 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 200 or not without using the division method. Check whether 4800 is divisible by 200 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Check the last three digits of the number. If they form a number that is divisible by 200, then the entire number is divisible by 200. In 4800, the last three digits are 800.
 

Step 2: Since 800 is divisible by 200 (800 ÷ 200 = 4), the number 4800 is divisible by 200.

Learn divisibility rules to help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 200.

• Know the multiples of 200: Memorize the multiples of 200 (200, 400, 600, 800, 1000…etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the last three digits form a multiple of 200, then the number is divisible by 200.
   
• Use large numbers: If dealing with large numbers, focus only on the last three digits to determine divisibility by 200.
   
• Verify using subtraction: If unsure, subtract the nearest lower multiple of 200 from the number and check if the result is zero or another multiple of 200.
   
• Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them verify and also learn.

• Divisibility rule: The set of rules used to find out whether a number is divisible by another number or not. For example, a number is divisible by 200 if the last three digits form a multiple of 200.
   
• Multiples: Multiples are the results we get after multiplying a number by an integer. For example, multiples of 200 are 200, 400, 600, 800...
   
• Integers: Integers are the numbers that include all whole numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
   
• Subtraction: Subtraction is a process of finding out the difference between two numbers by reducing one number from another.
   
• Verification: The process of using another method, like division, to confirm the result obtained from using the divisibility rule.
