Divisibility Rule of 115

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine if 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 115.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 115?

The divisibility rule for 115 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 115 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1840 is divisible by 115 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by both 5 and 23. 
For divisibility by 5, the last digit of the number should be 0 or 5. In 1840, the last digit is 0.
For divisibility by 23, divide the number by 23. 1840 ÷ 23 = 80, which is an integer.

 

Step 2: Since 1840 ends in 0 and is divisible by 23, it is divisible by 115.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 115

Understanding the divisibility rule helps to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 115.

 

Know the multiples of 115:


Memorize the multiples of 115 (115, 230, 345, 460, etc.) to quickly check divisibility.

 

Check divisibility by 5 first:


If the last digit is not 0 or 5, the number is not divisible by 115.

 

Use the division method for verification:


Students can use the division method to verify and crosscheck their results, which will help them to verify and also learn.

 

Repeat the process for larger numbers:


For larger numbers, ensure divisibility by both 5 and 23. For example, check if 5750 is divisible by 115:
The last digit is 0, so it's divisible by 5.
Divide 5750 by 23: 5750 ÷ 23 = 250, which is an integer.

Problem 1

Is 2300 divisible by 115?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 2300 is divisible by 115.
 

Explanation

To determine if 2300 is divisible by 115, check if 2300 can be broken down into smaller parts that are multiples of 115.  
1) Since 115 is a divisor of 1150, notice that 2300 is 1150 × 2.  
2) Thus, 2300 is divisible by 115.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 115 for 3450.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 3450 is not divisible by 115.
 

Explanation

To verify the divisibility of 3450 by 115, consider the following:
1) Break down 3450 into parts. Compare with the product of 115.
2) 3450 ÷ 115 = 30, which is not an integer. Therefore, 3450 is not divisible by 115.
