Divisibility Rule of 649

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 649.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 649?

The divisibility rule for 649 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 649 without using the division method. Check whether 1298 is divisible by 649 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 1298, 8 is the last digit, so 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., 129–16 = 113.

 

Step 3: As 113 is not a multiple of 649, the number is not divisible by 649. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 649, then the number is divisible by 649.divisibility rule of 649

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 649

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 649.

 

  • Know the multiples of 649: Memorize the multiples of 649 (649, 1298, 1947, 2596, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 649, then the number is divisible by 649.
     
  • 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 649. 

     For example: Check if 3894 is divisible by 649 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, 389–8 = 381   As 381 is not a multiple of 649, 3894 is not divisible by 649.
     
  • 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 1947 divisible by 649?

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

Yes, 1947 is divisible by 649.

Explanation

To check divisibility by 649, consider the context of three consecutive years in a historical event. The total sum of the three years, 1947, can be divided equally into each year. By dividing 1947 by 649, we find the quotient is 3, confirming divisibility.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 649 for 3245.

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

No, 3245 is not divisible by 649.

Explanation

Imagine a supply chain where a shipment of 3245 items needs to be divided among 649 warehouses. Attempting the division, 3245 divided by 649 gives a non-integer quotient, indicating that 3245 cannot be evenly distributed among the warehouses, hence not divisible by 649.

Problem 3

Is -779 divisible by 649?

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

No, -779 is not divisible by 649.

Explanation

Consider a financial scenario where a debt of 779 units is owed. Checking if this debt can be settled in equal installments of 649, we see that -779 divided by 649 does not result in a whole number, showing that -779 is not divisible by 649.

Problem 4

Can 1298 be divisible by 649 following the divisibility rule?

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

Yes, 1298 is divisible by 649.

Explanation

Picture a community event where 1298 tickets are sold. If each ticket is valid for two separate entries, we divide 1298 by 649 to find each entry period can accommodate exactly 649 attendees, confirming 1298 is divisible by 649.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 649 for 2596.

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

Yes, 2596 is divisible by 649.

Explanation

In a scenario where a recipe requires 2596 grams of an ingredient, and each packet contains 649 grams, dividing 2596 by 649 gives a whole number of 4 packets, confirming that 2596 is perfectly divisible by 649.
