What is the Divisibility Rule of 875?

The divisibility rule for 875 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 875 without using the division method. Check whether 7875 is divisible by 875 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Check if the number ends with 875, as 875 is a 3-digit number. 7875 ends with 875. 


Step 2: Since it ends with 875, the number 7875 is divisible by 875.divisibility rule of 875

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 875

Learning divisibility rules will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 875. 

 

Know the multiples of 875:  


Memorize the multiples of 875 (875, 1750, 2625, 3500, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number is a multiple of 875, then it is divisible by 875.

 

Use the last three digits:  


For large numbers, focus on the last three digits. If they form 875, the number is divisible by 875.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:  


For numbers larger than 875, check the last three digits. If they form 875, then the entire number is divisible by 875. For example, check if 26250 is divisible by 875. The last three digits, 250, do not form 875. So, 26250 is not divisible by 875.

 

Use the division method to verify:  


Students can use the division method to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to confirm their understanding.
