What is the Divisibility Rule of 250?

The divisibility rule for 250 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 250 or not without using the division method. Check whether 5000 is divisible by 250 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the last three digits of the number are zero or form a number that is divisible by 250. Here in 5000, the last three digits are '000'.

 

Step 2: Since the last three digits are '000', which indicates that it is divisible by 250, therefore, the number is divisible by 250.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 250

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 250.

 

  • Know the multiples of 250: Memorize the multiples of 250 (250, 500, 750, 1000, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the last three digits form a number that is a multiple of 250, then the number is divisible by 250.
     
  • 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 verify and also learn.
