Divisibility Rule of 809

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 809.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 809?

The divisibility rule for 809 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 809 without using the division method. Check whether 1618 is divisible by 809 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Double the last digit of the number, here in 1618, 8 is the last digit, so double it. 8 × 2 = 16

 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values, excluding the last digit. That is, 161 – 16 = 145.

 

Step 3: As 145 is not a multiple of 809, the number is not divisible by 809. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 809, then the number is divisible by 809.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 809

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 809.

 

Know the multiples of 809:  


Memorize the multiples of 809 (809, 1618, 2427, 3236…etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 809, then the number is divisible by 809.

 

Use the negative numbers:  


If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will consider the absolute value 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 809.  
For example: Check if 4845 is divisible by 809 using the divisibility test.  
Double the last digit, i.e., 5 × 2 = 10  
Subtract 10 from the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 484 – 10 = 474  
Still, 474 is not a multiple of 809, so 4845 is not divisible by 809.

 

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 learn.

Problem 1

Is 8090 divisible by 809?

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

Yes, 8090 is divisible by 809.
 

Explanation

To check if 8090 is divisible by 809, we can use the fact that it is a multiple of 809 (8090 = 809 x 10). Therefore, 8090 is divisible by 809.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 809 for 1618.

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

Yes, 1618 is divisible by 809.
 

Explanation

Since 1618 is exactly twice 809 (1618 = 809 x 2), it is divisible by 809.

Problem 3

Is -2427 divisible by 809?

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

Yes, -2427 is divisible by 809.
 

Explanation

To check if -2427 is divisible by 809, we remove the negative sign and check 2427. Since 2427 is exactly 3 times 809 (2427 = 809 x 3), it is divisible by 809.

Problem 4

Can 324 be divisible by 809 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 324 is not divisible by 809.
 

Explanation

Since 324 is less than 809 and does not equal 0 when divided by 809, it is not divisible by 809.
