The divisibility rule is a way to determine 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 241.
The divisibility rule for 241 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 241 or not without using the division method. Check whether 482 is divisible by 241 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last two digits of the number by 241, here in 482, 82 is the last two digits. Multiply it by 1. 82 × 1 = 82
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values, but do not include the last two digits. i.e., 4 – 82 = -78.
Step 3: Since -78 is not a multiple of 241, therefore, the number is not divisible by 241. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 241, then the number is divisible by 241.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 241.
Memorize the multiples of 241 (241, 482, 723,...) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 241, then the number is divisible by 241.
If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will consider its absolute value for checking the divisibility of a number.
Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 241. For example, check if 48200 is divisible by 241 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last two digits by 1, i.e., 00 × 1 = 0. Subtract the result from the remaining digits excluding the last two digits, 482 – 0 = 482. As 482 is a multiple of 241, 48200 is divisible by 241.
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.
