Divisibility Rule of 331

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without performing the division directly. In real life, we can use divisibility rules for quick calculations, dividing things evenly, and organizing items. In this topic, we will explore the divisibility rule of 331.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 331?

The divisibility rule for 331 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 331 without using the division method. Let's check whether 662 is divisible by 331 using this rule.

 

Step 1: Identify if there is a simple rule or pattern. In this case, there is no straightforward rule like for smaller numbers, so we need to verify directly or use known multiples if available.

 

Step 2: Since 662 is a small number, we can check directly or compare with known multiples of 331. 

 

Step 3: Divide 662 by 331. If the result is an integer, then 662 is divisible by 331.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 331

Understanding divisibility rules helps children master division. Let's learn some tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 331.

 

  • Know the multiples of 331: Memorize the multiples of 331 (331, 662, 993, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number matches any of these multiples, it is divisible by 331.

 

  • Large numbers: For large numbers, compare with known multiples of 331 or perform direct division for verification.

 

  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results, which aids in learning and verification.
