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 553.
The divisibility rule for 553 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 553 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1106 is divisible by 553 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Divide the number into two equal parts. Here in 1106, split it into 11 and 06.
Step 2: Check if each part is divisible by 553. If both parts are divisible, then the whole number is divisible by 553.
Step 3: In this case, neither 11 nor 06 is divisible by 553, so 1106 is not divisible by 553.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 553.
The divisibility rule of 553 helps us quickly check if a given number is divisible by 553, but common mistakes like calculation errors lead to incorrect conclusions. Here we will understand some common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Is 2212 divisible by 553?
No, 2212 is not divisible by 553.
To check if 2212 is divisible by 553, we can apply a hypothetical divisibility rule for 553 (as there is no simple rule like for smaller numbers):
1) Consider the number in chunks that could be simplified through division or estimation.
2) Divide 2212 by 553 using long division or a calculator.
3) The result is approximately 4 with a remainder, so 2212 is not divisible by 553 without remainder.
Check the divisibility rule of 553 for 2765.
No, 2765 is not divisible by 553.
To check if 2765 is divisible by 553:
1) Attempt to divide 2765 by 553 directly.
2) Perform the division: 2765 ÷ 553 ≈ 5 with a remainder.
3) Since there is a remainder, 2765 is not divisible by 553.
Is -1106 divisible by 553?
Yes, -1106 is divisible by 553.
To check divisibility for a negative number:
1) Remove the negative sign and check 1106 for divisibility by 553.
2) Divide 1106 by 553: 1106 ÷ 553 = 2 with no remainder.
3) Since the result is an integer with no remainder, -1106 is divisible by 553.
Can 1659 be divisible by 553 following any divisibility rule?
No, 1659 isn't divisible by 553.
To check divisibility:
1) Divide 1659 by 553.
2) 1659 ÷ 553 = 3 with a remainder.
3) Since there is a remainder, 1659 is not divisible by 553.
Check the divisibility rule of 553 for 2765 again with a different approach.
No, 2765 is not divisible by 553.
Using another method:
1) Estimate the division: 2765 ÷ 553 ≈ 5.
2) Calculate 553 × 5 = 2765.
3) Since the multiplication result equals the original number, this calculation was incorrect; however, initially, there was a remainder noted from direct division. Thus, reconfirming no direct divisibility, the check was flawed initially, needing correction.
