What is the Divisibility Rule of 133?

The divisibility rule for 133 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 133 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2660 is divisible by 133 with the divisibility rule.

 
Step 1: Break down 133 into its prime factors, which are 7 and 19. So, a number is divisible by 133 if it is divisible by both 7 and 19.

 
Step 2: Check if 2660 is divisible by 7 by using the divisibility rule of 7:  
          - Multiply the last digit by 2 (0 x 2 = 0).  
          - Subtract the result from the rest (266 - 0 = 266).  
          - Repeat the process: 6 x 2 = 12; 26 - 12 = 14.  
          - Since 14 is a multiple of 7, 266 is divisible by 7.  


Step 3: Check if 2660 is divisible by 19 by using the divisibility rule of 19:  
          - Double the last digit (0 x 2 = 0).  
          - Add to the remaining leading part (266 + 0 = 266).  
          - Repeat the process: 6 x 2 = 12; 26 + 12 = 38.  
          - 38 divided by 19 is a whole number (2), thus 266 is divisible by 19.  


Step 4: Since 266 is divisible by both 7 and 19, it is divisible by 133.
