Divisibility Rule of 556

The divisibility rule for 556 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 556 or not without using the division method. Check whether 167280 is divisible by 556 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Break down the number into smaller manageable parts. Here, check if 167 and 280 are divisible by 556 separately.

Step 2: Since 167 is less than 556, check if 280 is divisible by 556.

Step 3: As neither part is divisible by 556, the number 167280 is not divisible by 556.
 

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 556.
 

• Understand the factors: Know that 556 is composed of smaller factors (e.g., 2, 4, 139) which can help in breaking down the divisibility check.
   
• Check with smaller factors first: If a number is not divisible by 2 or 4, it's not divisible by 556.
   
• Use estimation: Estimate if a number is close to a multiple of 556 to guess divisibility.
   
• Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them verify and also learn.
   

• Divisibility rule: The set of rules used to find out whether a number is divisible by another number or not.
   
• Factors: Numbers that can be multiplied together to produce another number.
   
• Multiples: Results obtained by multiplying a number by an integer.
   
• Estimation: Approximating a number or value to make calculations easier.
   
• Remainder: The amount left over after division when one number does not divide the other exactly.
