Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 494

Learning divisibility rules will help students master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 494.
 

  • Know the multiples of 494: Memorize the multiples of 494 (494, 988, 1482, 1976, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number is a multiple of 494, then it is divisible by 494.
     
  • Use estimation for large numbers: If the number is large, estimate and divide it into parts to check divisibility by 494.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: If a number is too large, break it into smaller parts and check each part for divisibility by 494.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Use the division method to verify and crosscheck your results. This will help in confirmation and understanding.
