Divisibility Rule of 599

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 599.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 599?

The divisibility rule for 599 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 599 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1198 is divisible by 599 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 1198, 8 is the last digit. Multiply it by 2. 8 × 2 = 16 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 119−16 = 103.

Step 3: As it is shown that 103 is not a multiple of 599, therefore, the number is not divisible by 599. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 599, then the number is divisible by 599.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 599

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 599.

  • Know the multiples of 599: Memorize the multiples of 599 (599, 1198, 1797, 2396… etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 599, then the number is divisible by 599.

 

  • Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 599. For example: Check if 3594 is divisible by 599 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 4 × 2 = 8. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 8, 359−8 = 351. Still, 351 is a large number, hence we will repeat the process again and multiply the last digit by 2, 1 × 2 = 2. Now subtracting 2 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 35−2 = 33. As 33 is not a multiple of 599, 3594 is not divisible by 599.

 

  • Use the division method to verify: 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.

Problem 1

Is 1797 divisible by 599?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 1797 is divisible by 599. 

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 1797 by 599, follow these steps:
 
1) Multiply the last digit by 3, 7 × 3 = 21.  

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 179 – 21 = 158.  

3) Check if 158 is a multiple of 599. Since 158 is not a multiple of 599, continue checking by dividing 1797 by 599 directly, which results in a whole number quotient of 3. Therefore, 1797 is divisible by 599.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 599 for 2995.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 No, 2995 is not divisible by 599. 

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 2995 by 599, follow these steps:  

1) Multiply the last digit by 3, 5 × 3 = 15.  

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 299 – 15 = 284.  

3) Check if 284 is a multiple of 599. Since 284 is not a multiple of 599, 2995 is not divisible by 599.

Problem 3

Is -1198 divisible by 599?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, -1198 is divisible by 599.

Explanation

To check if -1198 is divisible by 599, remove the negative sign and apply the divisibility rule:  

1) Multiply the last digit by 3, 8 × 3 = 24.  

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 119 – 24 = 95.  

3) Check if 95 is a multiple of 599. Since 95 is not a multiple of 599, divide 1198 by 599 directly, which results in a whole number quotient of 2. Therefore, -1198 is divisible by 599.

Problem 4

Can 2396 be divisible by 599 following the divisibility rule?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 2396 isn't divisible by 599.

Explanation

To check if 2396 is divisible by 599, follow these steps:  

1) Multiply the last digit by 3, 6 × 3 = 18.  

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 239 – 18 = 221.  

3) Check if 221 is a multiple of 599. Since 221 is not a multiple of 599, 2396 is not divisible by 599.

Problem 5

Can 2396 be divisible by 599 following the divisibility rule?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 2396 isn't divisible by 599.  

Explanation

To check if 2396 is divisible by 599, follow these steps:

Problem 6

Check the divisibility rule of 599 for 3594.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 3594 is divisible by 599

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 3594 by 599, follow these steps:
