What is the Divisibility Rule of 618?

The divisibility rule for 618 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 618 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1236 is divisible by 618 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 2, 3, and 103 because 618 = 2 × 3 × 103.

Step 2: For divisibility by 2, the number must be even. Since 1236 ends in 6, it is even.

Step 3: For divisibility by 3, sum the digits: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12. Since 12 is divisible by 3, 1236 is divisible by 3.

Step 4: For divisibility by 103, perform actual division or check with known multiples of 103. Since 1236 divided by 103 equals 12, it is divisible.

Since 1236 is divisible by 2, 3, and 103, it is divisible by 618.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 618

Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 618.

 

  • Know the factors of 618: Memorize the factors (2, 3, and 103) to quickly check divisibility. A number divisible by all these factors is divisible by 618.

 

  • Use simple checks: For large numbers, break down the divisibility checks into simpler steps using the factors.

 

  • Repeat the process for verification: If unsure about a large number, verify divisibility by each factor separately.

 

  • 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 1854 divisible by 618?

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

No, 1854 is not divisible by 618.

Explanation

To determine if 1854 is divisible by 618:  

1) Find the sum of the digits of 1854: 1 + 8 + 5 + 4 = 18.  

2) Check if 18 is a multiple of the sum of the digits of 618 (6 + 1 + 8 = 15).  

3) Since 18 is not a multiple of 15, 1854 is not divisible by 618.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 618 for 3090.

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

Yes, 3090 is divisible by 618.

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 3090 by 618:  

1) Find the sum of the digits of 3090: 3 + 0 + 9 + 0 = 12.  

2) Check if 12 is a multiple of the sum of the digits of 618 (6 + 1 + 8 = 15).  

3) Since 12 is not a multiple of 15, 3090 is not divisible by 618. Correction: There was an error in the assumption; 3090 is not divisible by 618 due to incorrect calculation.

Problem 3

Is -1236 divisible by 618?

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

Yes, -1236 is divisible by 618. 

Explanation

To check if -1236 is divisible by 618, consider the positive value:  

1) Find the sum of the digits of 1236: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12.  

2) Compare 12 to the sum of the digits of 618 (6 + 1 + 8 = 15).  

3) Since 12 is not a multiple of 15, -1236 is not divisible by 618.

Problem 4

Can 1236 be divisible by 618 following the divisibility rule?

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

Yes, 1236 is divisible by 618. 

Explanation

To determine if 1236 is divisible by 618:  

1) Find the sum of the digits of 1236: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12.  

2) Compare 12 to the sum of the digits of 618 (6 + 1 + 8 = 15).  

3) Since the approach was incorrect, let's correct: 1236 divided by 618 equals 2, thus divisible by 618.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 618 for 2472.

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

Yes, 2472 is divisible by 618. 

Explanation

To verify the divisibility of 2472 by 618:
