Divisibility Rule of 612

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without actually performing the division. In real life, we can use divisibility rules for quick calculations, dividing things evenly, and sorting items. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 612.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 612?

The divisibility rule for 612 is a method to determine if a number is divisible by 612 without using the division method. Let's check whether 36756 is divisible by 612 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 2 (since 612 is even, it must be divisible by 2). In 36756, the last digit is 6, which is even, so it's divisible by 2.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 3 (since 612 = 2 × 3 × 102, it must be divisible by 3). Sum the digits: 3 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 6 = 27, which is divisible by 3.

 

Step 3: Check if the number is divisible by 102 (since 612 = 2 × 3 × 102). Use the division method here for simplicity: 36756 ÷ 102 = 360, which is an integer.

 

Since 36756 is divisible by 2, 3, and 102, it is divisible by 612.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 612

Understanding the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Here are a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 612.

 

  • Break down into prime factors: 612 can be broken down into 2 × 3 × 102. Use these smaller checks to simplify the process.

 

  • Use the sum of digits: For checking divisibility by 3, sum the digits of the number and see if the result is divisible by 3.

 

 

  • Memorize smaller multiples: Being familiar with smaller multiples of 102 can help quickly verify larger numbers.

 

  • Repeat the process: For very large numbers, check divisibility by 2, 3, and 102 separately to simplify the process.
