What is the Divisibility Rule of 404?


The divisibility rule for 404 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 404 or not without using the division method. Check whether 80808 is divisible by 404 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Divide the number by 4, the result must be a whole number. In 80808, check if 80808 is divisible by 4. 80808 ÷ 4 = 20202.

 

Step 2: Now, check if the result from Step 1 is divisible by 101. 20202 ÷ 101 = 200.

 

Step 3: Since the result from Step 2 is a whole number, 80808 is divisible by 404.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 404

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 404.

 

Know the multiples of 404:

 

Memorize the multiples of 404 (404, 808, 1212, 1616, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the final result is a whole number, then the original number is divisible by 404.

 

Use smaller divisors:

 

Break down 404 into smaller factors like 4 and 101 to simplify the process.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 404. For example, check if 161616 is divisible by 404 using the divisibility test. Divide by 4: 161616 ÷ 4 = 40404. Then, divide 40404 by 101: 40404 ÷ 101 = 400. Since 400 is a whole number, 161616 is divisible by 404.

 

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.
