What is the Divisibility Rule of 492?

The divisibility rule for 492 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 492 or not without using the division method. Check whether 984 is divisible by 492 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Divide the number into two parts, the last three digits and the remaining digits. In 984, the last three digits are 984, and the remaining digits are 0.
 

Step 2: Check if the last three digits, 984, are divisible by 492. Since 984 divided by 492 equals 2, 984 is divisible by 492.
 

Step 3: As it is shown that 984 is divisible by 492, therefore, the number is divisible by 492. If the result from step 2 isn't divisible by 492, then the number isn't divisible by 492.divisibility rule of 492

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 492

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 492.
 

  • Know the factors of 492: Recognize the factors of 492 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492) to quickly check divisibility. If the number is divisible by any factor, then it might be divisible by 492.
     
  • Use the division method: Use direct division for small numbers to verify divisibility by 492.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 492. For example, check if 1968 is divisible by 492 using the divisibility test. Divide 1968 into 196 and 8. Since 1968 divided by 492 equals 4, 1968 is divisible by 492.
     
  • Use the multiplication method to verify: Students can use multiplication by factors of 492 to cross-check their results. This will help them verify and also learn.
