Divisibility Rule of 148

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 148.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 148?

The divisibility rule for 148 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 148 without using the division method. Check whether 1776 is divisible by 148 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 4, as 148 is a multiple of 4. For 1776, the last two digits are 76, which is divisible by 4.
 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 37, as 148 is 4 times 37. Since 37 is a prime number, this step involves verifying divisibility directly through division or using a known multiple.
 

Step 3: If both conditions in steps 1 and 2 are satisfied, the number is divisible by 148. In this case, you would further verify by performing the division or using known multiples.divisibility rule of 148

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 148

Knowing divisibility rules can help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 148.
 

1. Know the multiples of 148: Memorize the multiples of 148 (148, 296, 444, 592, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the number is a multiple of 148, it is divisible by 148.
 

2. Check divisibility by 4: If a number is divisible by 4, it helps in checking the divisibility by 148 as it is a factor.
 

3. Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.

Divisibility Rule of 148 Examples

Problem 1

Is 2960 divisible by 148?

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

Yes, 2960 is divisible by 148. 

Explanation

Let's check this using a hypothetical divisibility rule for 148.  

1) Consider a rule where you multiply the last two digits of the number by 2. For 2960, the last two digits are 60, so 60 × 2 = 120.  

2) Subtract this result from the remaining digits of the number, 29 - 120 = -91.  

3) Check if the absolute result, 91, is divisible by 148. Since -91 doesn’t directly show divisibility, we adjust our method: 2960 divided by 148 equals 20, which is an integer, confirming divisibility.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 148 for 4444.

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

No, 4444 is not divisible by 148.

Explanation

Using our hypothetical rule for 148:  

1) Multiply the last two digits by 2. The last two digits are 44, so 44 × 2 = 88.  

2) Subtract this result from the remaining digits, 44 - 88 = -44.  

3) Since -44 doesn’t confirm divisibility by 148, we check directly: 4444 divided by 148 equals 30 with a remainder, showing it is not divisible by 148.

Problem 3

Is 5188 divisible by 148?

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

Yes, 5188 is divisible by 148.  

Explanation

Using our hypothetical rule for 148:  

1) Multiply the last two digits by 2. The last two digits are 88, so 88 × 2 = 176.  

2) Subtract this result from the remaining digits, 51 - 176 = -125.  

3) This doesn’t directly confirm divisibility, so we check directly: 5188 divided by 148 equals 35, which is an integer, confirming divisibility.

Problem 4

Can 3700 be divisible by 148 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 3700 is not divisible by 148.

Explanation

Applying the hypothetical divisibility rule for 148:  

1) Multiply the last two digits by 2. The last two digits are 00, so 00 × 2 = 0.  

2) Subtract this result from the remaining digits, 37 - 0 = 37.  

 

3) Since 37 doesn’t confirm divisibility by 148, we check directly: 3700 divided by 148 equals 25 with a remainder, showing it is not divisible by 148.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 148 for 8888.

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

No, 8888 is not divisible by 148.

Explanation

Using our hypothetical rule for 148:  

1) Multiply the last two digits by 2. The last two digits are 88, so 88 × 2 = 176.  

2) Subtract this result from the remaining digits, 88 - 176 = -88.  

3) Since -88 doesn’t confirm divisibility by 148, we check directly: 8888 divided by 148 equals 60 with a remainder, showing it is not divisible by 148.
