Divisibility Rule of 290

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a method to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without performing actual division. In real life, divisibility rules help with quick calculations, dividing items evenly, and organizing things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 290.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 290?

The divisibility rule for 290 is a method to determine if a number is divisible by 290 without using division. Check whether 2030 is divisible by 290 using the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by both 2 and 145, as 290 is the product of these two numbers (2 x 145 = 290). 

 

Step 2: For divisibility by 2, the last digit should be even. In 2030, the last digit is 0, which is even.

 

Step 3: For divisibility by 145, use a combination of divisibility rules for 5 and 29. The number should end with 0 or 5 for divisibility by 5. For 2030, it ends with 0.

 

Step 4: Use the divisibility rule for 29. A practical approach is to divide by 29 directly or use known multiples. 2030 ÷ 29 equals approximately 70, which is an integer.

 

Since 2030 passes both criteria, it is divisible by 290.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 290

Understanding the divisibility rule helps students master division. Here are a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 290.

 

Know the multiples of 290:

 

Memorize multiples of 290 (290, 580, 870, etc.) to quickly check divisibility.

 

Use divisibility of factors:

 

Since 290 = 2 x 145, ensure a number is divisible by both 2 and 145 to confirm divisibility by 290.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

Continue checking divisibility by factors for larger numbers until you reach a small number divisible by 290.

 

Use the division method to verify:

 

Crosscheck results using the division method to ensure accuracy and understanding.
