Divisibility Rule of 134

The divisibility rule for 134 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 134 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2680 is divisible by 134 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 4, here in 2680, 0 is the last digit, multiply it by 4. 0 × 4 = 0

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values, but do not include the last digit. i.e., 268–0 = 268.

Step 3: As it is shown that 268 is a multiple of 134, therefore, the number is divisible by 134. If the result from Step 2 isn't a multiple of 134, then the number isn't divisible by 134.

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 134.

• Know the multiples of 134: Memorize the multiples of 134 (134, 268, 402, 536…etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 134, then the number is divisible by 134.
   
• 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 134. 
  
  For example: Check if 5360 is divisible by 134 using the divisibility test.
  
  Multiply the last digit by 4, i.e., 0 × 4 = 0. 
  
  Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 0, 536–0 = 536. As 536 is a multiple of 134, 5360 is divisible by 134.
   
• 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.

• Divisibility rule: The set of rules used to find out whether a number is divisible by another number or not. For example, a number is divisible by 2 if the number ends with even numbers.
   
• Multiples: Multiples are the results we get after multiplying a number by an integer. For example, multiples of 134 are 134, 268, 402, 536…
   
• Integers: Integers are the numbers that include all the whole numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
   
• Subtraction: Subtraction is a process of finding out the difference between two numbers by reducing one number from another.
   
• Verify: To confirm the accuracy of a calculation, often done by using an alternative method such as actual division.
