What is the Divisibility Rule of 747?

The divisibility rule for 747 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 747 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 1494 is divisible by 747 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 1494, 4 is the last digit, multiply it by 2. 4 × 2 = 8.

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 with the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 149–8 = 141.  

Step 3: As it is shown that 141 is not a multiple of 747, therefore, the number is not divisible by 747. If the result from step 2 isn't a multiple of 747, then the number isn't divisible by 747.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 747

Knowing the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 747.  



Know the multiples of 747:  



Memorize the multiples of 747 (747, 1494, 2241, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 747, then the number is divisible by 747.  



Use the negative numbers: 



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.  



Repeat the process for large numbers:  



Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 747.  

For example: Check if 4482 is divisible by 747 using the divisibility test.  

Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 2 × 2 = 4.  

Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 4, 448–4 = 444.  

Still, 444 is a large number, hence we will repeat the process again and multiply the last digit by 2, 4 × 2 = 8.  

Now subtracting 8 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 44–8 = 36.  

Since 36 is not a multiple of 747, 4482 is not divisible by 747.  



Use the division method to verify:  



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.

Problem 1

Is the number of marbles in a bag, 2241, divisible by 747?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 2241 is not divisible by 747.

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 2241 by 747, we can perform the following steps:  

1) Consider the number as it is and attempt division directly for a quick check.  

2) Divide 2241 by 747, which results in approximately 3.0.  

3) Since the division does not result in an integer, 2241 is not divisible by 747.

Problem 4

A library has 7470 books. Can the books be divided into 747 equal sections?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 7470 is divisible by 747.

Explanation

To verify divisibility, use the following steps:  

1) Divide 7470 by 747.  

2) The result is exactly 10, which is an integer.  

3) Hence, 7470 can be divided equally by 747.
