Divisibility Rule of 268

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 268.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 268?

The divisibility rule for 268 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 268 or not without using the division method. Check whether 5360 is divisible by 268 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Divide the number into three parts. If the number has less than three digits, it is not divisible by 268. Here, 5360 is split into 5, 3, and 60. 

 

Step 2: Multiply the hundreds place by 4, the tens place by 2, and the units place by 1. Here, 5 × 4 + 3 × 2 + 60 × 1 = 20 + 6 + 60 = 86.

 

Step 3: If the sum is a multiple of 268, then the number is divisible by 268. Since 86 is not a multiple of 268, 5360 is not divisible by 268.
