What is the Divisibility Rule of 440?

The divisibility rule for 440 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 440 or not without using the division method. Check whether 8800 is divisible by 440 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 8. For 8800, the last three digits are 800, which is divisible by 8 (since 800 divided by 8 equals 100).

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 11. Sum the digits in odd positions and even positions: (8 + 0) - (8 + 0) = 0. Since the result is 0, which is divisible by 11, 8800 is divisible by 11.

 

Step 3: Since 8800 is divisible by both 8 and 11, it is divisible by their product, 88. Therefore, 8800 is divisible by 440.divisibility rule of 440

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 440

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 440.

 

  • Know the multiples of 440: Memorize the multiples of 440 (440, 880, 1320, 1760…etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If a number can be divided by a multiple of 440 exactly, it is divisible by 440.
     
  • Break down the number: Check divisibility by 8 and 11 separately. If a number is divisible by both, it is divisible by 440.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep checking divisibility until they confirm the number is divisible by 440. For example, check if 1760 is divisible by 440: it is divisible by 8 (760 is divisible by 8) and by 11 (1 + 6 - 7 = 0 is divisible by 11), so 1760 is divisible by 440.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This helps them verify and learn.
