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 967.
The divisibility rule for 967 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 967 or not without using the division method. Check whether 9670 is divisible by 967 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 9; here in 9670, 0 is the last digit, so multiply it by 9. 0 × 9 = 0
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 967–0 = 967.
Step 3: As it is shown that 967 is a multiple of 967, therefore, the number is divisible by 967. If the result from step 2 isn't a multiple of 967 then the number isn't divisible by 967.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 967.
Memorize the multiples of 967 (967, 1934, 2901, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 967, then the number is divisible by 967.
If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.
Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 967.
For example: Check if 19340 is divisible by 967 using the divisibility test.
Multiply the last digit by 9, i.e., 0 × 9 = 0.
Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 0, 1934–0 = 1934.
Still, 1934 is a large number, hence we will repeat the process again and multiply the last digit by 9, 4 × 9 = 36.
Now subtracting 36 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 193–36 = 157.
Since 157 is not a multiple of 967, 19340 is not divisible by 967.
Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
