Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a method to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without performing actual division. In real life, we can use the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting items. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 58.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 58?

The divisibility rule for 58 is a method to find out if a number is divisible by 58 without using the division method. Check whether 4644 is divisible by 58 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Recognize that 58 is the product of 2 and 29. Therefore, a number must be divisible by both 2 and 29 to be divisible by 58.

 

Step 2: Check for divisibility by 2. A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even. In 4644, the last digit is 4, which is even.

 

Step 3: Check for divisibility by 29. Use long division or check the multiples of 29. For this example, divide 4644 by 29, which results in 160, a whole number, indicating divisibility.

 

Since 4644 is divisible by both 2 and 29, it is divisible by 58.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 58

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 58.

 

  • Know the multiples of 58: Memorize the multiples of 58 (58, 116, 174, 232, etc.) to quickly check divisibility.
     
  • Use the factors of 58: Since 58 is 2 × 29, ensure a number is divisible by both 2 and 29.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: For larger numbers, divide by both 2 and 29 to check divisibility.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results, helping them to verify and learn.
