What is the Divisibility Rule of 217?

The divisibility rule for 217 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 217 or not without using the division method. Check whether 434 is divisible by 217 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Break down the number into partial sums that can be easily evaluated. For example, 434 can be seen as 434 = 217 + 217.

 

Step 2: Verify that each part is divisible by 217. Here, both parts are clearly divisible by 217.

 

Step 3: Since both parts are divisible by 217, the entire number 434 is also divisible by 217.
