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 236.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 236?

The divisibility rule for 236 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 236 or not without using the division method. Check whether 4720 is divisible by 236 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Separate the number into two parts: the last two digits and the rest. For 4720, the last two digits are 20 and the rest is 47.


Step 2: Check if the last two digits form a number that is divisible by 4. Since 20 is divisible by 4, proceed to the next step.


Step 3: Check if the remaining part (47) is divisible by 59. Since 47 is not divisible by 59, 4720 is not divisible by 236.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 236

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 236.

 

Know the multiples of 236:


Memorize the multiples of 236 (236, 472, 708, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the process forms a multiple of 236, then the number is divisible by 236.

 

Use smaller divisibility rules:


Break down the divisibility rule of 236 into smaller rules for 4 and 59 for easier checking.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:


Students should keep repeating the divisibility process for large numbers until reaching a small number that is divisible by 236. For example, check if 9440 is divisible by 236. Separate into parts: 40 and 94. 40 is divisible by 4, but 94 is not divisible by 59. Therefore, 9440 is not divisible by 236.

 

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 verify and also learn.
