What is the Divisibility Rule of 186?

The divisibility rule for 186 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 186 or not without using the division method. Check whether 5586 is divisible by 186 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 2. Since 5586 ends in 6, which is even, it is divisible by 2.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 3. Add all digits of 5586: 5 + 5 + 8 + 6 = 24. Since 24 is divisible by 3, 5586 is divisible by 3.

 

Step 3: Check if the number is divisible by 31, which is a factor of 186. Divide 5586 by 31 using a calculator or perform long division to see if it results in a whole number. In this case, 5586 divided by 31 equals 180, a whole number. Therefore 5586 is divisible by 186.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 186

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 186.

 

  • Know the multiples of 186: Memorize the multiples of 186 (186, 372, 558, 744, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the division is a whole number, then the number is divisible by 186.

 

  • Combine divisibility rules: 186 is the product of 2, 3, and 31, so check divisibility by these factors to determine divisibility by 186.

 

  • 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.
