Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 188.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 188?

The divisibility rule for 188 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 188 or not without using the division method. Check whether 5644 is divisible by 188 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Identify if the number is divisible by both 4 and 47 (since 188 = 4 × 47). First, check divisibility by 4: a number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number that is divisible by 4. In 5644, the last two digits are 44, which is divisible by 4.

 

Step 2: Now check divisibility by 47: There is no straightforward rule for 47, so perform a quick division if necessary to verify.

 

Step 3: Since 5644 is divisible by both 4 and 47, it is divisible by 188.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 188

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 188.

 

  • Know the multiples of 188: Memorize the multiples of 188 (188, 376, 564, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If a number matches one of these, it is divisible by 188.

 

  • Check divisibility by 4 first: If the last two digits of the number form a number divisible by 4, proceed to the next step.

 

  • Use the division method for divisibility by 47: Since 47 has no easy rule, perform division to verify.

 

  • Repeat the checks for large numbers: For large numbers, ensure both conditions (divisibility by 4 and 47) are met.

 

  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
