Divisibility Rule of 601

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 601.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 601?

The divisibility rule for 601 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 601 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1202 is divisible by 601 with the divisibility rule.  
Step 1: Split the number into two parts: the last three digits and the rest. Here in 1202, 202 is the last three digits.
Step 2: Subtract the last three digits from the remaining part. i.e., 1 - 202 = -201.
Step 3: Determine if the result is a multiple of 601. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 601, then the number is divisible by 601. If not, the number isn't divisible by 601.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 601

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 601.

Know the multiples of 601: Memorize the multiples of 601 (601, 1202, 1803, 2404…etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 601, then the number is divisible by 601.

Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the negative sign and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.

Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 601. 

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.
