What is the Divisibility Rule of 708?

The divisibility rule for 708 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 708 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2124 is divisible by 708 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check divisibility by 2, 3, and 59 because 708 = 2 × 3 × 59.
For 2: Ensure the last digit is even. Here, 2124 ends in 4, so it is divisible by 2.
For 3: Sum the digits (2 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 9), which is divisible by 3.
For 59: Use long division or a calculator to check divisibility by 59 directly.

 

Step 2: Since 2124 is divisible by 2, 3, and 59, 2124 is divisible by 708.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 708

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 708.

 

Memorize the factors of 708:

Knowing that 708 = 2 × 3 × 59 will help you quickly apply the divisibility tests for 2, 3, and 59.

 

Use digital sum for divisibility by 3:

Sum the digits of the number. If the sum is divisible by 3, the original number is as well.

 

Check the last digit for divisibility by 2:

Ensure the number ends with an even digit (0, 2, 4, 6, 8).

 

Use the division method to verify:

Use division to verify and cross-check your results. This will help confirm the divisibility of large numbers.
