What is the Divisibility Rule of 45?

The divisibility rule for 45 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 45 or not without using the division method. Check whether 180 is divisible by 45 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Ensure the number is divisible by both 5 and 9. A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5, and divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 9.

Step 2: Check divisibility by 5. Here, 180 ends in 0, so it is divisible by 5.

Step 3: Check divisibility by 9. Sum the digits of 180: 1 + 8 + 0 = 9. Since 9 is a multiple of 9, 180 is divisible by 9.

Step 4: Since 180 is divisible by both 5 and 9, it is divisible by 45.divisibility rule of 45

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 45

Learning divisibility rules can help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 45.

 

  • Know the multiples of 45: Memorize the multiples of 45 (45, 90, 135, 180…etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If a number is divisible by both 5 and 9, then it is divisible by 45.
     
  • Use the sum of digits: For divisibility by 9, sum the digits and check if the result is a multiple of 9.
     
  • Check the last digit: For divisibility by 5, the last digit should be 0 or 5.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: For larger numbers, break down the number into smaller parts to check divisibility by 5 and 9 separately.
     
  • 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.
