What is the Divisibility Rule of 208?

The divisibility rule for 208 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 208 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2080 is divisible by 208 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number ends with the digits 080, as 208 is a multiple of 10.


Step 2: Since 080 is a multiple of 208, the number 2080 is divisible by 208.
