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 536.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 536?

The divisibility rule for 536 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 536 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1072 is divisible by 536 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Double the last three digits of the number, here in 1072, 072 is the last three digits. Double it: 072 × 2 = 144.

 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the rest of the number. In this case, subtract 144 from 1 (since there are no digits left before 072): 1 - 144 = -143.

 

Step 3: As the result is not zero or a multiple of 536, 1072 is not divisible by 536. If the result from step 2 were zero or a multiple of 536, then the number would be divisible by 536.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 536

Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 536.

 

Know the multiples of 536:


Memorize the multiples of 536 (536, 1072, 1608, 2144, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 536, then the number is divisible by 536.

 

Use the negative numbers:


If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will take its absolute value 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 536. For example, check if 3216 is divisible by 536 using the divisibility test. Double the last three digits, i.e., 216 × 2 = 432. Subtract 432 from 3, which leaves -429. Since -429 is not zero or a multiple of 536, we might investigate further for errors or confirm divisibility by long division.

 

Use the division method to verify:


Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them verify and also learn.
