Divisibility Rule of 952

The divisibility rule for 952 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 952 or not without using the division method. Check whether 95200 is divisible by 952 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 8 (since 952 is a multiple of 8). For 95200, the last three digits are '200', which is divisible by 8 (as 200 ÷ 8 = 25).
 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 119 (since 952 = 8 × 119). For 95200, sum the digits alternately, starting from the rightmost digit: (0 + 2 + 9) - (0 + 5 + 0) = 11 - 5 = 6. Since 6 is not divisible by 119, 95200 is not divisible by 952.
 

Step 3: Since the result from step 2 is not divisible by 119, the number is not divisible by 952.
 

Learn the divisibility rule to help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 952.
 

Know the factors of 952:

Recognize that 952 = 8 × 119.

Check divisibility by 8:

The last three digits of the number should be divisible by 8.

Use the alternating sum method for 119:

For 119, use the alternating sum and difference method to check divisibility.

Repeat the process for large numbers:

Continue checking divisibility by breaking down the number until you reach a smaller number.

Use the division method to verify:

Use division to cross-check your results and ensure accuracy.
