What is the Divisibility Rule of 845?

The divisibility rule for 845 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 845 without actual division. Let's check whether 1690 is divisible by 845 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check divisibility by 5. Since the last digit of 1690 is 0, 1690 is divisible by 5.


Step 2: Check divisibility by 169 (the result of 845 divided by 5). Divide 1690 by 169 to see if the result is an integer. 1690 ÷ 169 = 10, which is an integer.


Step 3: Since 1690 is divisible by both 5 and 169, it is divisible by 845.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 845

Understanding the divisibility rule will help students master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 845.

 

Know the factors of 845:


Memorize the factors of 845, which are 5 and 169, to check divisibility quickly.

 

Use prime factorization:


Recognize that 845 = 5 × 169. Checking divisibility by each factor separately can simplify the process.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:


For large numbers, break them down into smaller parts using divisibility rules of 5 and 169.

 

Use the division method to verify:


Always use the division method to verify and cross-check your results. This will help confirm your calculations.

Problem 1

Is 1690 divisible by 845?

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

No, 1690 is not divisible by 845.
 

Explanation

To check if 1690 is divisible by 845, we need to follow the appropriate divisibility rule.


1) Identify the last three digits of the number, which are 690.


2) Subtract 690 from the full number, which gives 1690 - 690 = 1000.


3) Check if the result, 1000, is a multiple of 845. No, 1000 is not a multiple of 845.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 845 for 2535.

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

Yes, 2535 is divisible by 845.
 

Explanation

To verify the divisibility of 2535 by 845, follow these steps:


1) Identify the last three digits of the number, which are 535.


2) Subtract 535 from the full number, which gives 2535 - 535 = 2000.


3) Check if the result, 2000, is a multiple of 845. Yes, 2000 is a multiple of 845 (845 x 2.37, approximately), showing divisibility.

Problem 4

Can 1690 be divisible by 845 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 1690 is not divisible by 845.
 

Explanation

To check if 1690 is divisible by 845, apply the divisibility rule:


1) The last three digits of 1690 are 690.


2) Subtract 690 from the number, resulting in 1690 - 690 = 1000.


3) Check if 1000 is a multiple of 845. No, 1000 is not a multiple of 845.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 845 for 8450.

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

Yes, 8450 is divisible by 845.
 

Explanation

To confirm the divisibility of 8450 by 845, follow these steps:


1) Identify the last three digits of the number, which are 450.


2) Subtract 450 from the full number, which gives 8450 - 450 = 8000.


3) Check if 8000 is a multiple of 845. Yes, 8000 is a multiple of 845 (845 x 9.467, approximately), confirming divisibility
