Divisibility Rule of 883

The divisibility rule for 883 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 883 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 2649 is divisible by 883 with the divisibility rule.
 
Step 1: Divide the original number into groups of three digits starting from the right. For 2649, the groups are (2) and (649).

Step 2: Multiply the leftmost group by 883. Here, 2 × 883 = 1766.
Step 3: Add the result from Step 2 to the remaining group. Thus, 1766 + 649 = 2415.

Step 4: If the result is a multiple of 883, then the number is divisible by 883. In this case, 2415 is not a multiple of 883, so 2649 is not divisible by 883.

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 883.
