Divisibility Rule of 164

The divisibility rule for 164 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 164 or not without using the division method. Check whether 492 is divisible by 164 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 4. For 492, the last two digits are 92. Since 92 is divisible by 4, proceed to the next step.
 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 41. To do this, add the digits of the number until a single-digit number is obtained. For 492, add 4+9+2 = 15, and then 1+5 = 6. Since 6 is not a multiple of 41, 492 is not divisible by 164.
 

Learning divisibility rules will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 164.
 

• Know the multiples of 164: Memorize the multiples of 164 (164, 328, 492, 656, etc.) to quickly check divisibility.
   
• Use the divisibility rules for 4 and 41: A number is divisible by 164 if it is divisible by both 4 and 41.
   
• Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 164.
   
• 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: The set of rules used to find out whether a number is divisible by another number or not.
   
• Multiples: These are the results we get after multiplying a number by an integer, such as multiples of 164: 164, 328, 492, etc.
   
• Digits: The individual numbers that make up a larger whole number, used in checking divisibility.
   
• Subtraction: The process of finding the difference between two numbers, not directly used in the rule but important in other divisibility contexts.
   
• Division Method: A mathematical procedure to verify the divisibility of numbers by dividing and checking for a remainder.
