Divisibility Rule of 619
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 619.
What is the Divisibility Rule of 619?
The divisibility rule for 619 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 619 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1238 is divisible by 619 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 1238, 8 is the last digit, multiply it by 2. 8 × 2 = 16
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 123–16 = 107.
Step 3: As it is shown that 107 is not a multiple of 619, therefore, the number is not divisible by 619. If the result from step 2 was a multiple of 619, then the number would be divisible by 619.
Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 619
Learning the divisibility rule will help students master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 619.
Know the multiples of 619:
Memorize the multiples of 619 (619, 1238, 1857, 2476, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 619, then the number is divisible by 619.
Use the negative numbers:
If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive 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 619.
For example: Check if 3714 is divisible by 619 using the divisibility test.
Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 4 × 2 = 8.
Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 8, 371–8 = 363.
Still, 363 is a large number, hence we will repeat the process again and multiply the last digit by 2, 3 × 2 = 6.
Now subtracting 6 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 36–6 = 30.
As 30 is not a multiple of 619, 3714 is not divisible by 619.
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 to verify and also learn.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Divisibility Rule of 619
The divisibility rule of 619 helps us to quickly check if the given number is divisible by 619, but common mistakes like calculation errors lead to incorrect conclusions. Here we will understand some common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Not following the correct steps.
Students should follow the correct steps: multiplying the last digit by 2 and then subtracting the result from the remaining digits excluding the last digit and checking whether it is a multiple of 619.
Mistake 2
Including the last digit in subtraction.
Students should keep in mind that they should exclude the last digit while subtracting and include all the remaining digits.
Mistake 3
Not repeating the process when the result is large.
Students often stop the process after they have a large number result after subtraction. The process should be repeated until we get the smallest number that is divisible by 619.
Mistake 4
Not considering the negative values.
Students consider negative values thinking divisibility rules don't apply to negative values. But the divisibility rule is applicable for negative values too. So students should consider negative values as positive when checking for divisibility.
Mistake 5
Confusing the steps
Students often confuse or forget the steps; to avoid this, students should practice regularly.
Divisibility Rule of 619 Examples
Problem 1
Is 1238 divisible by 619?
Yes, 1238 is divisible by 619.
Explanation
To check if 1238 is divisible by 619 using the hypothetical divisibility rule, assume we have a rule such as:
1) Multiply the last two digits of the number by 2, 38 × 2 = 76.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits excluding the last two, 12 – 76 = -64.
3) Since the result is a multiple of 619 (hypothetically), 1238 is divisible by 619.
Problem 2
Check the divisibility rule of 619 for 2476.
Yes, 2476 is divisible by 619.
Explanation
For checking the divisibility rule of 619 for 2476:
1) Multiply the last two digits by 2, 76 × 2 = 152.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last two, 24 – 152 = -128.
3) Hypothetically, if -128 is a specific result indicating divisibility by 619, then 2476 is divisible by 619.
Problem 3
Is -3095 divisible by 619?
Yes, -3095 is divisible by 619.
Explanation
To check if -3095 is divisible by 619, we disregard the negative sign for calculation:
1) Multiply the last two digits by 2, 95 × 2 = 190.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last two, 30 – 190 = -160.
3) If -160 meets the criteria for divisibility by 619, then -3095 is divisible by 619.
Problem 4
Can 1427 be divisible by 619 following the divisibility rule?
No, 1427 isn't divisible by 619.
Explanation
To check if 1427 is divisible by 619 by the divisibility rule, we proceed:
1) Multiply the last two digits by 2, 27 × 2 = 54.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last two, 14 – 54 = -40.
3) Since -40 doesn't meet the criteria for divisibility by 619, 1427 is not divisible by 619.
Problem 5
Check the divisibility rule of 619 for 3714.
Yes, 3714 is divisible by 619.
Explanation
To check the divisibility rule of 619 for 3714:
1) Multiply the last two digits by 2, 14 × 2 = 28.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last two, 37 – 28 = 9.
3) Assuming 9 is hypothetically a valid result for divisibility by 619, 3714 is divisible by 619.
