What is the Divisibility Rule of 221?

The divisibility rule for 221 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 221 or not without using the division method. Check whether 442 is divisible by 221 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Consider the number as a whole and try to recognize any patterns or use mathematical manipulations that might simplify the process. Here, we divide 442 by 221, which gives us exactly 2, a whole number.

 

Step 2: Since the result is a whole number, 442 is divisible by 221.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 221

Learning divisibility rules will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 221.

 

1. Know the multiples of 221:

 

Memorize the multiples of 221 (221, 442, 663, 884, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result of a division is a whole number, then the number is divisible by 221.

 

2. Use mathematical patterns:

 

If the number is large, try to break it down into smaller components or use mathematical observations to identify divisibility by 221.

 

3. Verify with division:

 

Students can use the division method to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.

 

4. Simplify the problem:

 

Break larger numbers into smaller recognizable components that are easier to manage when checking for divisibility by 221.

Problem 1

Is 1105 divisible by 221?

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

No, 1105 is not divisible by 221.  
 

Explanation

 To determine if 1105 is divisible by 221, we can use the divisibility rule for 221.  


1) Separate the last three digits and the remaining part: 105 and 1.  


2) Multiply the remaining part by 2: 1 × 2 = 2.  


3) Add the result to the last three digits: 105 + 2 = 107.  


4) Check if 107 is equal to or a multiple of 221. No, 107 is not a multiple of 221.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 221 for 442

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

Yes, 442 is divisible by 221.  
 

Explanation

To check if 442 is divisible by 221, follow the divisibility rule for 221.  


1) Separate the last three digits and the remaining part: 442 and 0 (since there's no number before 442).  


2) Multiply the remaining part by 2: 0 × 2 = 0.  


3) Add the result to the last three digits: 442 + 0 = 442.  


4) Check if 442 is equal to or a multiple of 221. Yes, 442 is exactly 221 × 2.

Problem 5

Can 2349 be divisible by 221 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 2349 is not divisible by 221.  

Explanation

To determine if 2349 is divisible by 221, use the following steps:

 
1) Separate the last three digits and the remaining part: 349 and 2.  


2) Multiply the remaining part by 2: 2 × 2 = 4.  


3) Add the result to the last three digits: 349 + 4 = 353.  


4) Check if 353 is a multiple of 221. No, 353 is not a multiple of 221.
