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 260.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 260?

The divisibility rule for 260 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 260 or not without using the division method. Check whether 7800 is divisible by 260 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 4. The last two digits of 7800 are 00, which is divisible by 4.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 65. A number is divisible by 65 if it is divisible by both 5 and 13. For 7800, the last digit is 0, which is divisible by 5. 

 

Step 3: To check divisibility by 13, sum the digits of the number. For 7800, the sum of the digits is 15 (7 + 8 + 0 + 0). Since 15 is not divisible by 13, perform another operation: double the last digit and subtract from the rest. Here, subtract twice the last digit (0) from the remaining number (780), giving 780. Since 780 is not divisible by 13, 7800 is not divisible by 260.
