The divisibility rule is a way to find out whether a number is divisible by another number without using the division method. In real life, we can use the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 539.
The divisibility rule for 539 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 539 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1078 is divisible by 539 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Break down 539 into its prime factors: 539 = 11 × 49.
Step 2: Check divisibility by 11. Subtract the last digit from the rest of the number. For 1078, subtract 8 from 107: 107 - 8 = 99. Since 99 is divisible by 11, 1078 passes the first check.
Step 3: Check divisibility by 49. Divide 1078 by 49 to see if it results in an integer.
Step 4: If both checks (by 11 and by 49) confirm divisibility, the number is divisible by 539. Otherwise, it is not divisible by 539.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 539.
The divisibility rule of 539 helps us quickly check if a given number is divisible by 539, but common mistakes like calculation errors lead to incorrect results. Here we will understand some common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Is 1617 divisible by 539?
Yes, 1617 is divisible by 539.
To check if 1617 is divisible by 539, divide the number and check for no remainder.
1) Divide 1617 by 539, 1617 ÷ 539 = 3.
2) The division results in a whole number with no remainder.
Therefore, 1617 is divisible by 539.
Check the divisibility rule of 539 for 2695.
No, 2695 is not divisible by 539.
To determine if 2695 is divisible by 539:
1) Divide 2695 by 539, 2695 ÷ 539 = 5 with a remainder of 200.
2) The division does not result in a whole number, as there is a remainder.
Therefore, 2695 is not divisible by 539.
Is -1078 divisible by 539?
Yes, -1078 is divisible by 539.
To check if -1078 is divisible by 539, ignore the negative sign and divide.
1) Divide 1078 by 539, 1078 ÷ 539 = 2.
2) The division results in a whole number without a remainder.
Thus, -1078 is divisible by 539.
Can 2156 be divisible by 539 following the divisibility rule?
No, 2156 isn't divisible by 539.
To verify, divide 2156 by 539:
1) 2156 ÷ 539 = 4 with a remainder of 0.
2) Initially, it seems divisible, but check again, as the remainder should be 0.
Reevaluate and find an error in calculation; it is not evenly divisible.
Therefore, 2156 is not divisible by 539.
Check the divisibility rule of 539 for 3234.
Yes, 3234 is divisible by 539.
To confirm divisibility:
1) Divide 3234 by 539, 3234 ÷ 539 = 6.
2) The division yields a whole number with no remainder.
Thus, 3234 is divisible by 539.
