Divisibility Rule of 360

The divisibility rule for 360 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 360 without using the division method. A number is divisible by 360 if it is divisible by 8, 9, and 5. Check whether 7200 is divisible by 360 using the divisibility rule:

Step 1: Check divisibility by 8. The last three digits of 7200 are 200, and 200 is divisible by 8.

Step 2: Check divisibility by 9. Sum the digits of 7200: 7+2+0+0=9. Since 9 is divisible by 9, 7200 is divisible by 9.

Step 3: Check divisibility by 5. Since 7200 ends with 0, it is divisible by 5.

Since 7200 meets all three conditions, it is divisible by 360.
 

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 360:
 

• Know the divisibility rules for 8, 9, and 5: Memorize these rules to quickly check the divisibility by 360.
   
• Use the last digits: For divisibility by 8, check the last three digits; for divisibility by 5, check the last digit.
   
• Sum of digits: For divisibility by 9, sum the digits and check if the result is a multiple of 9.
   
• Repeat the process for large numbers: If dealing with very large numbers, break them down and check each condition separately.
   
• Use the division method to verify: Verify your results using the division method to ensure accuracy.
   

• Divisibility rule: The set of rules used to determine whether a number is divisible by another number.
   
• Multiples: Results from multiplying a number by an integer. For example, multiples of 360 include 360, 720, 1080, etc.
   
• Sum of digits: The result of adding all digits in a number.
   
• Last digits: Refers to the last few digits used to determine divisibility by certain numbers (e.g., the last three digits for divisibility by 8).
   
• Integer: Numbers that include all whole numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
