What is the Divisibility Rule of 280?

The divisibility rule for 280 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 280 or not without using the division method. Check whether 5600 is divisible by 280 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 10. Since 5600 ends in 0, it is divisible by 10.


Step 2: Divide the number by 10 to get 560. Now check if 560 is divisible by 28 (since 280 = 28 × 10).


Step 3: Check if 560 is divisible by 28. You can do this by dividing 560 by 28, which gives a whole number (20), indicating that 560 is divisible by 28.


Step 4: Since 560 is divisible by 28, the original number, 5600, is divisible by 280.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 280

Learn the divisibility rule to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 280.

  • Know the multiples of 280: Memorize the multiples of 280 (280, 560, 840, 1120, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the calculation is a multiple of 280, then the number is divisible by 280.
     
  • Use the divisibility rules for 10 and 28: If a number is divisible by both 10 and 28, then it is divisible by 280. 
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: For larger numbers, simplify by checking divisibility by 10 first, and then apply the rule for 28. 
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check the results. This will help confirm accuracy and reinforce learning.
