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 237.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 237?

The divisibility rule for 237 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 237 or not without using the division method. Check whether 711 is divisible by 237 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Break down the number into smaller parts for simplification, if possible. In 711, consider it as 700 + 11.


Step 2: Find the sum of these parts. In this case, it remains 711.


Step 3: Since 711 is a known multiple of 237 (237 x 3 = 711), the number is divisible by 237. If the resulting number after simplifying breaks down into a known multiple of 237, then the original number is divisible by 237.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 237

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 237. 

 

Know the multiples of 237:  


Memorize the multiples of 237 (237, 474, 711, 948, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the simplified result is a multiple of 237, then the number is divisible by 237. 

 

Approximate close numbers:  


If you approximate the number close to a multiple of 237, you can check the proximity to identify divisibility.

 

Use subtraction for large numbers:  


For large numbers, break them down into manageable parts or use subtraction by known multiples of 237 to simplify. For example, check if 1185 is divisible by 237. Subtract a known multiple of 237 from 1185, such as 948 (1185 - 948 = 237), and since 237 itself is a multiple, the original number is divisible by 237.

 

Use the division method to verify:  


Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
