Divisibility Rule of 588

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without using the traditional division method. In real life, we can use divisibility rules for quick calculations, dividing things evenly, and sorting items. In this topic, we will explore the divisibility rule for 588.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 588?

The divisibility rule for 588 allows us to find out if a number is divisible by 588 without performing the division directly. Let's check whether 3528 is divisible by 588 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check divisibility by 2, 3, and 7, since 588 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 14. 


- Divisibility by 2: The last digit of 3528 is 8, which is even. Therefore, 3528 is divisible by 2.


- Divisibility by 3: Sum the digits (3+5+2+8=18). Since 18 is divisible by 3, 3528 is divisible by 3.


- Divisibility by 7: Use the rule for 7. Double the last digit and subtract from the rest: 352 - (2×8) = 352 - 16 = 336. Repeat the process: 33 - (2×6) = 33 - 12 = 21, which is divisible by 7.

 

Since 3528 is divisible by 2, 3, and 7, it is also divisible by 588.divisibility rule of 588

Problem 1

Is 1764 divisible by 588?

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

Yes, 1764 is divisible by 588.

Explanation

To determine if 1764 is divisible by 588, we can break it down as follows:


1) Check divisibility by 2: 1764 is even, so it is divisible by 2.


2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum the digits, 1 + 7 + 6 + 4 = 18, which is divisible by 3.


3) Check divisibility by 4: The last two digits, 64, are divisible by 4.


4) Check divisibility by 7: Apply the rule for 7: 1 × 2 = 2, 176 - 2 = 174, 17 - 8 (last digit × 2) = 9, which is not divisible by 7, but since 1764 is divisible by both 12 and 49 (7 squared), it is divisible by 588.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 588 for 3528.

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

Yes, 3528 is divisible by 588.

Explanation

To check if 3528 is divisible by 588:


1) Check divisibility by 2: 3528 is even.


2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits, 3 + 5 + 2 + 8 = 18, divisible by 3.


3) Check divisibility by 4: The last two digits, 28, are divisible by 4.


4) Check divisibility by 7: Apply the rule for 7: 8 × 2 = 16, 352 - 16 = 336, 33 - 12 = 21, which is divisible by 7.

Problem 3

Is 2940 divisible by 588?

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

No, 2940 is not divisible by 588.

Explanation

To determine if 2940 is divisible by 588:


1) Check divisibility by 2: 2940 is even.


2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits, 2 + 9 + 4 + 0 = 15, divisible by 3.


3) Check divisibility by 4: The last two digits, 40, are divisible by 4.


4) Check divisibility by 7: Apply the rule for 7: 0 × 2 = 0, 294 - 0 = 294, 29 - 8 = 21, which is divisible by 7. 


However, since 588 requires divisibility by all factors (2, 3, 4, 7), and 2940 meets these, it seems there was a mistake in the initial conclusion. Let's recalculate: 


Since 2940 is divisible by 588, the original conclusion was incorrect.

Problem 4

Can 1232 be divisible by 588 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 1232 isn't divisible by 588.

Explanation

To check if 1232 is divisible by 588, we follow the steps:


1) Check divisibility by 2: 1232 is even.


2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits, 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 8, which is not divisible by 3.


Since 1232 is not divisible by 3, it cannot be divisible by 588.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 588 for 4704.

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

Yes, 4704 is divisible by 588. 

Explanation

To check the divisibility rule of 588 for 4704:


1) Check divisibility by 2: 4704 is even.


2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of digits, 4 + 7 + 0 + 4 = 15, divisible by 3.


3) Check divisibility by 4: The last two digits, 04, are divisible by 4.


4) Check divisibility by 7: Apply the rule for 7: 4 × 2 = 8, 470 - 8 = 462, 46 - 4 = 42, which is divisible by 7.
