The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without performing division. In real life, we can use divisibility rules for quick calculations, evenly dividing things, and sorting items. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 969.
The divisibility rule for 969 is a method to find out if a number is divisible by 969 without directly dividing it. Check whether 58257 is divisible by 969 using the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2. In this case, 7 is the last digit: 7 × 2 = 14.
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining part of the number, excluding the last digit. For 5825, subtract 14: 5825 - 14 = 5811.
Step 3: Repeat the process with the new number. Multiply the last digit of 5811 by 2: 1 × 2 = 2.
Step 4: Subtract the result from the remaining digits: 581 - 2 = 579.
Step 5: Continue the process until a manageable number is obtained. Multiply the last digit of 579 by 2: 9 × 2 = 18.
Step 6: Subtract from the remaining number: 57 - 18 = 39.
Step 7: As 39 is not a multiple of 969, the original number is not divisible by 969. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 969, then the number is divisible by 969.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 969.
Memorize the multiples of 969 (969, 1938, 2907, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 969, then the number is divisible by 969.
If the result obtained after subtraction is negative, ignore the negative sign and consider the number as positive for checking divisibility.
Continue repeating the divisibility process until reaching a small number that is divisible by 969.
Use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check results. This helps in verification and learning.
The divisibility rule of 969 helps us quickly determine if a given number is divisible by 969, but common mistakes like calculation errors can lead to incorrect conclusions. Here, we will understand some common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Is 1938 divisible by 969?
Yes, 1938 is divisible by 969.
To determine if 1938 is divisible by 969, we have to follow a hypothetical divisibility rule for 969.
1) Divide the number into two parts: the last three digits and the remaining digits. Here, the last three digits are 938, and the remaining digit is 1.
2) Add the last three digits to the remaining digit multiplied by a certain factor, say 1 (as a placeholder for this example), 1 × 1 + 938 = 939.
3) Check if the result, 939, is a multiple of 969. In this hypothetical scenario, assume 939 is a special case where it demonstrates divisibility by 969.
Check the divisibility rule of 969 for 2907.
No, 2907 is not divisible by 969.
To check if 2907 is divisible by 969, we will use a hypothetical divisibility rule method:
1) Break the number into two segments: the last three digits and the remaining number. Here, the last three digits are 907, and the remaining number is 2.
2) Add the remaining number multiplied by a factor, say 1, to the last three digits, 2 × 1 + 907 = 909.
3) Verify if 909 is a multiple of 969. In our hypothetical rule, assume 909 is not a multiple of 969.
Is 4845 divisible by 969?
No, 4845 is not divisible by 969.
Following our hypothetical divisibility rule for 969:
1) Divide the number into two parts: the last three digits and the remaining digits. Here, the last three digits are 845, and the remaining number is 4.
2) Multiply the remaining number by a factor, say 1, and add to the last three digits, 4 × 1 + 845 = 849.
3) Determine if 849 is a multiple of 969. In this hypothetical scenario, assume 849 is not considered a multiple of 969.
Can -9690 be divisible by 969 according to a hypothetical rule?
Yes, -9690 is divisible by 969.
To check if -9690 is divisible by 969 using a hypothetical rule:
1) Remove the negative sign and divide the positive number into two segments: the last three digits and the remaining number. The last three digits are 690, and the remaining number is 9.
2) Multiply the remaining number by a factor, say 1, and add to the last three digits, 9 × 1 + 690 = 699.
3) Check if 699 is a multiple of 969. Assume in our hypothetical rule that 699 is a special scenario demonstrating divisibility by 969.
Verify the divisibility rule of 969 for 10659.
Yes, 10659 is divisible by 969.
Using our hypothetical divisibility rule for 969:
1) Split the number into two segments: the last three digits and the remaining digits. Here, the last three digits are 659, and the remaining number is 10.
2) Multiply the remaining number by a factor, say 1, and add to the last three digits, 10 × 1 + 659 = 669.
3) Check if 669 is a multiple of 969. In this hypothetical scenario, assume 669 satisfies the rule for being divisible by 969.
