What is the Divisibility Rule of 272?

The divisibility rule for 272 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 272 or not without using the division method. Check whether 3264 is divisible by 272 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Check if the last three digits of the number form a number divisible by 272. Here in 3264, the last three digits are 264. 


Step 2: Since 264 is not divisible by 272, 3264 is not divisible by 272. If the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 272, then the whole number is divisible by 272.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 272

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 272. 

 

Know the multiples of 272:  


Memorize the multiples of 272 (272, 544, 816, 1088, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the last three digits form a number that is a multiple of 272, the number is divisible by 272.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:  


If you encounter a large number, focus only on the last three digits to determine divisibility by 272. For example, check if 45272 is divisible by 272 using the divisibility test. Focus on the last three digits, 272. As 272 is divisible by 272, 45272 is divisible by 272.

 

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 to confirm and also learn.
