What is the Divisibility Rule of 246?

The divisibility rule for 246 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 246 without using the division method. Check whether 1476 is divisible by 246 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 2, 3, and 41, since 246 = 2 × 3 × 41. 


Step 2: For divisibility by 2, the last digit should be even. Here, in 1476, the last digit is 6, which is even.


Step 3: For divisibility by 3, the sum of all digits should be divisible by 3. Here, 1+4+7+6 = 18, and 18 is divisible by 3.


Step 4: For divisibility by 41, perform the division to verify or use a calculator. Here, 1476 ÷ 41 = 36, which is an integer.

 

Since 1476 is divisible by 2, 3, and 41, it is also divisible by 246.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 246

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 246.

 

Know the prime factors:

 

Memorize the prime factors of 246 (2, 3, 41) to quickly check divisibility.


Use divisibility tests for smaller factors:

 

If a number is divisible by all the prime factors of 246, it is divisible by 246.


Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

For large numbers, check divisibility by 2, 3, and 41 separately and ensure all conditions are met.


Use a calculator for verification:

 

Students can use a calculator to verify and cross-check their results.
