Divisibility Rule of 578

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to find out whether a number is divisible by another number without using the division method. In real life, we can use the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 578.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 578?

The divisibility rule for 578 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 578 without using the division method. Let's check whether 1156 is divisible by 578 using the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2. Here in 1156, 6 is the last digit, so multiply it by 2. 6 × 2 = 12.

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 with the remaining values, but do not include the last digit, i.e., 115–12 = 103.

Step 3: As it is shown that 103 is not a multiple of 578, the number 1156 is not divisible by 578. If the result from Step 2 were a multiple of 578, then the number would be divisible by 578.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 578

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 578.

  • Know the multiples of 578: Memorize the multiples of 578 (578, 1156, 1734, 2312, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 578, then the number is divisible by 578.

 

  • Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will ignore the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 578. Example: Check if 3468 is divisible by 578 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 8 × 2 = 16. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 16, 346–16 = 330. 330 is not divisible by 578, hence 3468 is not divisible by 578.

 

  • 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 verify and also learn.
