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 520.
The divisibility rule for 520 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 520 without using the division method. Check whether 1040 is divisible by 520 using the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Check if the last three digits of the number are 520 or 000. In 1040, the last three digits are 040.
Step 2: Since 040 is not 520 or 000, 1040 is not divisible by 520.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 520.
Memorize the multiples of 520 (520, 1040, 1560, 2080, 2600…etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the last three digits of a number match any of these multiples, then the number is divisible by 520.
When checking a large number, you can simplify it by focusing only on the last three digits to determine if it's divisible by 520.
For very large numbers, continue checking the last three digits until they match 520 or 000 to determine divisibility.
Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
