Divisibility Rule of 844

The divisibility rule for 844 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 844 without using the division method. Check whether 1688 is divisible by 844 using the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 4, as 844 is divisible by 4. The last two digits of 1688 are 88, which is divisible by 4 (since 88 ÷ 4 = 22). 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 211, as 844 is 4 × 211. Divide 1688 by 211. Since 1688 ÷ 211 = 8, it divides evenly.

Step 3: Since 1688 passes both tests, it is divisible by 844.

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 844.

Know the multiples of 844:

Memorize the multiples of 844 (844, 1688, 2532, ...) to quickly check divisibility.

Break down into smaller factors:

Use the fact that 844 = 4 × 211. Check divisibility by 4 and 211 separately.

Use the division method for verification:

Students can use the division method to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them verify and also learn.

Practice with large numbers:

Students should practice with large numbers, using the breakdown of 844 into 4 and 211, to master the process.

Check with a calculator:

For quick verification, use a calculator to divide the number by 844 and check for an integer result.
