What is the Divisibility Rule of 318?

The divisibility rule for 318 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 318 or not without using the division method. Check whether 636 is divisible by 318 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check the last three digits of the number, here in 636, the last three digits are 636. If the number consists of exactly three digits, use the entire number.

 

Step 2: Check if the number 636 is divisible by 318 using a calculator or mental estimation. 

 

Step 3: If the number is divisible evenly, then it is divisible by 318. In this case, 636 divided by 318 equals 2, which is an exact division without a remainder. Therefore, 636 is divisible by 318.
