What is the Divisibility Rule of 877?

The divisibility rule for 877 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 877 or not without using the division method. Check whether 8770 is divisible by 877 with the divisibility rule.  

 

Step 1: Divide the number by 10, which gives us 877 as the quotient and 0 as the remainder.


Step 2: Subtract the remainder from 877, i.e., 877 - 0 = 877.


Step 3: As it is shown that the result is equal to 877, the number is divisible by 877. If the result from step 2 isn't equal to 877, then the number isn't divisible by 877.divisibility rule of 877
