What is the Divisibility Rule of 498?

The divisibility rule for 498 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 498 or not without using the division method. Check whether 996 is divisible by 498 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by both 2 and 3. Since 498 is divisible by these numbers, a number divisible by 498 must also be divisible by 2 and 3.

For divisibility by 2: The last digit of the number should be even. In 996, the last digit is 6, which is even.

For divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits should be divisible by 3. The sum of the digits of 996 is 9 + 9 + 6 = 24, which is divisible by 3.
 

Since 996 passes both conditions, it is divisible by 498.divisibility rule of 498

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 498

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 498.
 

  • Know the multiples of 498: Memorize the multiples of 498 (498, 996, 1494, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number equals any multiple of 498, it is divisible.
     
  • Check divisibility by factors: Since 498 = 2 × 3 × 83, ensure the number meets divisibility rules for each of these factors.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: While the divisibility rule provides a quick check, using the division method can verify and crosscheck results and help in learning.
