What is the Divisibility Rule of 864?

The divisibility rule for 864 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 864 without using the division method. Check whether 6912 is divisible by 864 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 8. For 6912, take the last three digits, 912, and see if it is divisible by 8. Since 912 ÷ 8 = 114, it is divisible by 8.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 9. Add the digits of the number: 6 + 9 + 1 + 2 = 18. Since 18 is divisible by 9, the number is divisible by 9.

 

Step 3: Since 6912 is divisible by both 8 and 9, it is divisible by 864.divisibility rule of 864
