What is the Divisibility Rule of 144?

The divisibility rule for 144 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 144 without using the division method. Check whether 5184 is divisible by 144 using the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 12 (since 12 is a factor of 144). A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4.

For divisibility by 3, add the digits of the number: 5 + 1 + 8 + 4 = 18. Since 18 is divisible by 3, 5184 is divisible by 3.

For divisibility by 4, check if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4: 84 is divisible by 4.
 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 12 again to ensure it's divisible by 144. Since 5184 is divisible by 12, continue testing.
 

Step 3: Finally, check divisibility by 12 again. Since it passes, 5184 is divisible by 144.divisibility rule of 144

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 144

Understanding the divisibility rule will help mastery of division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 144.

 

  • Know the multiples of 144: Memorize the multiples of 144 (144, 288, 432, 576, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If a number is a multiple of 144, it is divisible by 144.
     
  • Break down to factors: Since 144 = 12 × 12, check divisibility by 12 twice to confirm divisibility by 144.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
