What is the Divisibility Rule of 360?

The divisibility rule for 360 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 360 without using the division method. A number is divisible by 360 if it is divisible by 8, 9, and 5. Check whether 7200 is divisible by 360 using the divisibility rule:

Step 1: Check divisibility by 8. The last three digits of 7200 are 200, and 200 is divisible by 8.

Step 2: Check divisibility by 9. Sum the digits of 7200: 7+2+0+0=9. Since 9 is divisible by 9, 7200 is divisible by 9.

Step 3: Check divisibility by 5. Since 7200 ends with 0, it is divisible by 5.

Since 7200 meets all three conditions, it is divisible by 360.divisibility rule of 360

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 360

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 360:
 

  • Know the divisibility rules for 8, 9, and 5: Memorize these rules to quickly check the divisibility by 360.
     
  • Use the last digits: For divisibility by 8, check the last three digits; for divisibility by 5, check the last digit.
     
  • Sum of digits: For divisibility by 9, sum the digits and check if the result is a multiple of 9.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: If dealing with very large numbers, break them down and check each condition separately.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Verify your results using the division method to ensure accuracy.

Problem 1

Can 7200 be evenly divided by 360?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 7200 is divisible by 360. 

Explanation

To verify divisibility by 360, the number must be divisible by 8 and 45.  

1) Check divisibility by 8: The last three digits of 7200 are 200, which is divisible by 8 (200 ÷ 8 = 25).  

2) Check divisibility by 45: The number 7200 ends with a zero, and the sum of its digits (7 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 9) is divisible by 9. Therefore, 7200 is divisible by both 9 and 5, making it divisible by 45.

Problem 2

Is 1080 divisible by 360?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 1080 is divisible by 360. 

Explanation

To check divisibility by 360, the number must be divisible by 8 and 45.  

1) Check divisibility by 8: The last three digits of 1080 are 080, which is divisible by 8 (80 ÷ 8 = 10).  

2) Check divisibility by 45: The number 1080 ends with a zero, and the sum of its digits (1 + 0 + 8 + 0 = 9) is divisible by 9. Therefore, 1080 is divisible by both 9 and 5, making it divisible by 45.

Problem 3

Is 2340 divisible by 360?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 2340 is not divisible by 360.

Explanation

To determine divisibility by 360, the number must be divisible by 8 and 45.  

1) Check divisibility by 8: The last three digits of 2340 are 340, which is not divisible by 8 (340 ÷ 8 = 42.5).  

2) Since 2340 is not divisible by 8, it cannot be divisible by 360.

Problem 4

Check if 5760 is divisible by 360.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 5760 is divisible by 360.

Explanation

A number is divisible by 360 if it is divisible by 8 and 45.  

1) Check divisibility by 8: The last three digits of 5760 are 760, which is divisible by 8 (760 ÷ 8 = 95).  

2) Check divisibility by 45: The number 5760 ends with a zero, and the sum of its digits (5 + 7 + 6 + 0 = 18) is divisible by 9. Therefore, 5760 is divisible by both 9 and 5, making it divisible by 45.

Problem 5

Is 2520 divisible by 360?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 2520 is divisible by 360.

Explanation

To confirm divisibility by 360, the number must be divisible by 8 and 45.  

1) Check divisibility by 8: The last three digits of 2520 are 520, which is divisible by 8 (520 ÷ 8 = 65).  

2) Check divisibility by 45: The number 2520 ends with a zero, and the sum of its digits (2 + 5 + 2 + 0 = 9) is divisible by 9. Therefore, 2520 is divisible by both 9 and 5, making it divisible by 45.
