Divisibility Rule of 653

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 653.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 653?

The divisibility rule for 653 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 653 or not without using the division method. Check whether 6530 is divisible by 653 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 6530, 0 is the last digit. Multiply it by 2. 0 × 2 = 0

 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 653 - 0 = 653.

 

Step 3: As it is shown that 653 is the exact number we are testing for divisibility, the number is divisible by 653. If the result from step 2 isn't the number itself or a multiple of it, then the number isn't divisible by 653.divisibility rule of 653

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 653

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 653.

 

  • Know the multiples of 653: Memorize the multiples of 653 (653, 1306, 1959, 2612, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 653, then the number is divisible by 653.
     
  • Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will ignore 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 653. For example, check if 6530 is divisible by 653 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 0 × 2 = 0. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 0, 653 - 0 = 653. As 653 is the number we are testing for, 6530 is divisible by 653.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
