Divisibility Rule of 590

The divisibility rule for 590 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 590 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1180 is divisible by 590 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 10 (last digit should be 0). Here, in 1180, the last digit is 0, so it is divisible by 10.
 

Step 2: Check if the number formed by the digits before the last digit (i.e., 118) is divisible by 59, since 590 = 59 × 10.
 

Step 3: Divide 118 by 59. Since 118 ÷ 59 = 2 (with no remainder), 1180 is divisible by 590.

Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 590.
 

• Know the multiples of 590: Memorize the multiples of 590 (590, 1180, 1770, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number is a multiple of 590, then it is divisible by 590.
   
• 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 to verify and also learn.
   

• Divisibility rule: The set of guidelines used to find out whether a number is divisible by another number or not. For example, a number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.
