What is the Divisibility Rule of 63?

The divisibility rule for 63 allows us to determine if a number is divisible by 63 without using division. Check whether 756 is divisible by 63 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by both 7 and 9, as 63 is the product of these two numbers.

 

Step 2: To check divisibility by 7, multiply the last digit by 2 and subtract it from the rest of the number. For 756, multiply 6 by 2 to get 12 and subtract from 75 to get 63, which is divisible by 7.

 

Step 3: To check divisibility by 9, add all the digits of the number. For 756, the sum is 7 + 5 + 6 = 18, which is divisible by 9.

Since 756 is divisible by both 7 and 9, it is divisible by 63.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 63

Understanding divisibility rules will help improve division skills. Here are some tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 63:

 

Know the multiples of 63:

Memorize multiples of 63 (63, 126, 189, 252, etc.) to quickly verify divisibility.

 

Use negative numbers:

If after subtraction the result is negative, consider it as positive to check divisibility.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:

If the number is large, repeat the divisibility check for both 7 and 9 until reaching a smaller number.

 

Use the division method to verify:

Use the division method to confirm and crosscheck results for better understanding.

Problem 1

Is 756 divisible by 63?

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

Yes, 756 is divisible by 63.

Explanation

To check divisibility by 63, we need to ensure divisibility by both 7 and 9, since 63 = 7 × 9.


1) Check divisibility by 7: Multiply the last digit by 2, 6 × 2 = 12. Subtract from the rest, 75 – 12 = 63, which is divisible by 7.


2) Check divisibility by 9: Add all digits, 7 + 5 + 6 = 18, which is divisible by 9.


Since 756 is divisible by both 7 and 9, it is divisible by 63.

Problem 2

Can 945 be divisible by 63 following the divisibility rule?

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

Can 945 be divisible by 63 following the divisibility rule?
 

Explanation

Check divisibility by both 7 and 9.


1) For 7: Multiply the last digit by 2, 5 × 2 = 10. Subtract from the rest, 94 – 10 = 84, which is divisible by 7.


2) For 9: Add the digits, 9 + 4 + 5 = 18, which is divisible by 9.


945 is divisible by both 7 and 9, so it is divisible by 63.

Problem 3

Is 378 divisible by 63?

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

Yes, 378 is divisible by 63.
 

Explanation

Check divisibility by both 7 and 9.


1) For 7: Multiply the last digit by 2, 8 × 2 = 16. Subtract from the rest, 37 – 16 = 21, which is divisible by 7.


2) For 9: Add the digits, 3 + 7 + 8 = 18, which is divisible by 9.


Since 378 is divisible by both 7 and 9, it is divisible by 63.

Problem 4

Is 512 divisible by 63?

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

No, 512 is not divisible by 63.
 

Explanation

Check divisibility by both 7 and 9.


1) For 7: Multiply the last digit by 2, 2 × 2 = 4. Subtract from the rest, 51 – 4 = 47, which is not divisible by 7.


2) For 9: Add the digits, 5 + 1 + 2 = 8, which is not divisible by 9.


512 is neither divisible by 7 nor 9, so it is not divisible by 63.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 63 for 1260.

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

Yes, 1260 is divisible by 63.

Explanation

Check divisibility by both 7 and 9.


1) For 7: Multiply the last digit by 2, 0 × 2 = 0. Subtract from the rest, 126 – 0 = 126. Repeat the process: 6 × 2 = 12, 12 – 12 = 0, which is divisible by 7.


2) For 9: Add the digits, 1 + 2 + 6 + 0 = 9, which is divisible by 9.


Since 1260 is divisible by both 7 and 9, it is divisible by 63.
