What is the Divisibility Rule of 69?

The divisibility rule for 69 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 69 or not without using the division method. Check whether 4140 is divisible by 69 with the divisibility rule.  

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by both 3 and 23, as 69 is the product of these two prime numbers.


Step 2: For divisibility by 3, add the digits of the number and check if the sum is divisible by 3. For 4140, 4+1+4+0=9, which is divisible by 3.


Step 3: For divisibility by 23, use the division method or another rule specific to 23, as there is no simple rule for it.


Step 4: Since 4140 is divisible by both 3 and 23, it is divisible by 69.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 69

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 69.

 

  • Know the factors: Memorize the factors of 69, which are 3 and 23, to quickly check divisibility. If a number is divisible by both 3 and 23, then it is divisible by 69.

 

  • Use addition for 3: For divisibility by 3, add all the digits of the number and check if the result is divisible by 3.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process for both 3 and 23 until they reach a conclusion about divisibility by 69.

 

  • 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 learn.

Problem 1

Can 345 be divisible by 69?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 345 is not divisible by 69.

Explanation

To check if 345 is divisible by 69, we'll use a unique approach:  


1) Double the last digit and add it to the rest of the number: 5 × 2 = 10, 34 + 10 = 44.  


2) Check if 44 is divisible by 69. No, 44 is not divisible by 69.
