Divisibility Rule of 654

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine 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 654.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 654?

The divisibility rule for 654 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 654 without using the division method.

Check whether 1962 is divisible by 654 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 2 (the last digit should be even). Since 1962 ends in 2, it is divisible by 2.


Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 3 (the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3). The sum of the digits in 1962 is 1+9+6+2=18, which is divisible by 3.


Step 3: Check if the number is divisible by 109 (a more complex process involving long division for verification). Since 1962 divided by 109 equals 18, it is divisible by 109.


Since 1962 satisfies all conditions for divisibility by 654, it is divisible by 654.divisibility rule of 654

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 654

Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 654. 

 

  • Know the factors: Understand the factors of 654 (2, 3, and 109) to quickly check divisibility. Each factor must divide the number without leaving a remainder.
     
  • Use small checks: Break down the divisibility into smaller checks using factors like 2 and 3, which are easier to verify.
     
  • Repeat for larger factors: For larger factors like 109, use long division to verify divisibility, especially if the number is large.
     
  • Verify with division: Use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check the results. This helps to confirm and reinforce understanding.

Problem 1

Is 6540 divisible by 654?

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

Yes, 6540 is divisible by 654.

Explanation

To check divisibility, we can break 6540 into groups that represent multiples of 654. 


1) Divide 6540 by 654 to check divisibility directly: 6540 ÷ 654 = 10.


2) Since the result is a whole number, 6540 is divisible by 654.
