Divisibility Rule of 517

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to find out whether a number is divisible by another number without using the division method. In real life, we can use the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 517.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 517?

The divisibility rule for 517 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 517 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1551 is divisible by 517 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Subtract the last three digits of the number from the rest. For example, in 1551, the last three digits are 551. Subtract 551 from 1 (since 1 is what's left after removing 551). 1-551 = -550.

Step 2: Check if the result from Step 1 is a multiple of 517. Since -550 is not a multiple of 517, 1551 is not divisible by 517.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 517

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 517.

Know the multiples of 517: Memorize the multiples of 517 (517, 1034, 1551, 2068, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 517, then the number is divisible by 517.

Use negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.

Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 517. For example: Check if 2585 is divisible by 517 using the divisibility test. Subtract the last three digits, 585, from the remaining number, 2. 2-585 = -583. Since -583 is not a multiple of 517, 2585 is not divisible by 517.

Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
