What is the Divisibility Rule of 248?

The divisibility rule for 248 is a method that helps us determine if a number is divisible by 248 without using the division method. Check whether 7448 is divisible by 248 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Take the last three digits of the number, here in 7448, 448 is the last three digits.

 

Step 2: Check if the number formed by these last three digits is divisible by 248. In this case, 448 is not divisible by 248.

 

Step 3: If the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 248, then the original number is divisible by 248.divisibility rule of 248
