Divisibility Rule of 805
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 805.
What is the Divisibility Rule of 805?
The divisibility rule for 805 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 805 without using the division method. Let's check whether 1610 is divisible by 805 using the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Divide the number into groups of three digits from right to left. Here in 1610, we have 1 and 610 as the groups.
Step 2: Subtract the first group from the second group. i.e., 610 - 1 = 609.
Step 3: Since 609 is not a multiple of 805, the number is not divisible by 805.
Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 805
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 805.
Know the multiples of 805:
Memorize the multiples of 805 (805, 1610, 2415, 3220, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 805, then the number is divisible by 805.
Use negative numbers:
If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it 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 805.
For example, check if 3220 is divisible by 805 using the divisibility test. Divide the number into groups, 3 and 220. Subtract the first group from the second, 220 - 3 = 217. Since 217 is not a multiple of 805, 3220 is not divisible by 805.
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 verify and also learn.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Divisibility Rule of 805
The divisibility rule of 805 helps us quickly check if a given number is divisible by 805, but common mistakes like calculation errors lead to incorrect results. Here we will understand some common mistakes to help you understand.
Mistake 1
Not following the correct steps.
Students should follow the correct steps by dividing the number into groups and subtracting the first group from the second group before checking if it is a multiple of 805.
Divisibility Rule of 805 Examples
Problem 1
Is 3220 divisible by 805?
Yes, 3220 is divisible by 805.
Explanation
To check the divisibility of 3220 by 805, we apply a hypothetical divisibility rule unique to 805:
1) Divide the number by 10 to remove the last digit, resulting in 322.
2) Subtract the last digit times 5 from the result, 322 - (0 × 5) = 322.
3) Check if the resulting number is divisible by 805. In this case, 3220 ÷ 805 = 4 exactly, so 3220 is divisible by 805.
Problem 2
Determine if 6440 follows the divisibility rule of 805.
Yes, 6440 is divisible by 805.
Explanation
Using the divisibility rule for 805:
1) Divide the number by 10 to remove the last digit, resulting in 644.
2) Subtract the last digit times 5 from the remaining number, 644 - (0 × 5) = 644.
3) Verify if 644 is a multiple of 805. Indeed, 6440 ÷ 805 = 8, confirming 6440 is divisible by 805.
Problem 3
Is -4025 divisible by 805?
Yes, -4025 is divisible by 805.
Explanation
Checking divisibility for -4025 by 805 involves:
1) Ignoring the negative sign, focus on 4025.
2) Divide by 10 to remove the last digit, resulting in 402.
3) Subtract 5 times the last digit from the remaining number, 402 - (5 × 5) = 377.
4) Confirm if 377 is a multiple of 805. As 4025 ÷ 805 = 5 with no remainder, -4025 is divisible by 805.
Problem 4
Can 1610 be divisible by 805 according to the divisibility rule?
No, 1610 is not divisible by 805.
Explanation
Testing divisibility for 1610:
1) Divide by 10 to remove the last digit, resulting in 161.
2) Subtract 5 times the last digit from the remaining number, 161 - (0 × 5) = 161.
3) Check if 161 is a multiple of 805. Since 1610 ÷ 805 is not a whole number, 1610 is not divisible by 805.
Problem 5
Check the divisibility rule of 805 for 4830.
Yes, 4830 is divisible by 805.
Explanation
To confirm the divisibility of 4830 by 805:
1) Divide by 10 to remove the last digit, resulting in 483.
2) Subtract 5 times the last digit from the remaining number, 483 - (0 × 5) = 483.
3) Determine if 483 is a multiple of 805. As 4830 ÷ 805 = 6, it confirms that 4830 is divisible by 805.
