The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without using the division method. It is useful in real life for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 927.
The divisibility rule for 927 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 927 without using the division method. Let's check whether 1854 is divisible by 927 using this rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2. In 1854, the last digit is 4, so multiply it by 2. 4 × 2 = 8.
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit. That is, 185 - 8 = 177.
Step 3: As 177 is not a multiple of 927, 1854 is not divisible by 927. If the result from Step 2 is a multiple of 927, then the number is divisible by 927.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 927.
Memorize the multiples of 927 (e.g., 927, 1854, 2781, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 927, then the number is divisible by 927.
If the result after subtraction is negative, consider it as positive for checking divisibility.
If the result is still large, repeat the divisibility process until you reach a small number that is divisible by 927. For example, check if 5556 is divisible by 927 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 6 × 2 = 12. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 12, 555 - 12 = 543. Still, 543 is large, so repeat the process: 3 × 2 = 6. Now subtract 6 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 54 - 6 = 48. As 48 is not a multiple of 927, 5556 is not divisible by 927.
