The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without actually performing the division. In real life, divisibility rules can be used for quick calculations, dividing things evenly, and organizing items. In this topic, we will explore the divisibility rule of 527.
The divisibility rule for 527 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 527 without using the division method. Check whether 1054 is divisible by 527 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last two digits of the number by 2. In 1054, 54 is the last two digits, so multiply it by 2. 54 × 2 = 108.
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining digits but do not include the last two digits. i.e., 10 - 108 = -98.
Step 3: Since -98 is not a multiple of 527, the number is not divisible by 527. If the result from Step 2 is a multiple of 527, then the number is divisible by 527.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 527.
Memorize the multiples of 527 (527, 1054, 1581, ...etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 527, then the number is divisible by 527.
If the result we get after subtraction is negative, we will consider its absolute value for checking the divisibility of a number.
Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 527. For example, check if 6329 is divisible by 527 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last two digits by 2, i.e., 29 × 2 = 58. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last two digits by 58, 63 - 58 = 5. Since 5 is not a multiple of 527, 6329 is not divisible by 527.
Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
