Divisibility Rule of 393

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 393.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 393?

The divisibility rule for 393 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 393 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 786 is divisible by 393 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 786, 6 is the last digit multiply it by 2. 6 × 2 = 12 


Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 78 - 12 = 66.


Step 3: Since 66 is not a multiple of 393, the number is not divisible by 393. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 393, then the number is divisible by 393.divisibility rule of 393

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 393

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 393. 

 

  • Know the multiples of 393:  Memorize the multiples of 393 to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 393, then the number is divisible by 393. 
     
  • Use the negative numbers:  If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will ignore the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers:  Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 393.

    For example: Check if 1572 is divisible by 393 using the divisibility test.  Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 2 × 2 = 4.  

    Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 4, 157 - 4 = 153.  Still, 153 is a large number, hence we repeat the process again: multiply the last digit by 2, 3 × 2 = 6.  

    Now, subtracting 6 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 15 - 6 = 9.  Since 9 is not a multiple of 393, 1572 is not divisible by 393.
     
  • 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.

Problem 1

Is 1179 divisible by 393?

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

Yes, 1179 is divisible by 393.

Explanation

To determine if 1179 is divisible by 393, we can use the divisibility rule specific to this number:


1) Divide 1179 by 393 directly to see if it results in a whole number.


2) 1179 ÷ 393 = 3, which is a whole number.


Therefore, 1179 is divisible by 393.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 393 for 786.

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

No, 786 is not divisible by 393.

Explanation

To check if 786 is divisible by 393, use the following method:


1) Divide 786 by 393 directly.


2) 786 ÷ 393 = 2, which results in a whole number. 


However, upon further analysis, 2 x 393 = 786, confirming that 786 is indeed divisible by 393.

Problem 3

Is -1179 divisible by 393?

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

Yes, -1179 is divisible by 393.

Explanation

When checking for divisibility of a negative number, remove the negative sign and proceed:


1) Consider the positive equivalent, 1179.


2) Divide 1179 by 393, which equals 3, a whole number.


Therefore, -1179 is divisible by 393.

Problem 4

Can 395 be divisible by 393 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 395 is not divisible by 393.

Explanation

Check the divisibility of 395 by 393:


1) Divide 395 by 393 directly.


2) 395 ÷ 393 = 1.005, which is not a whole number.


Thus, 395 is not divisible by 393.
