What is the Divisibility Rule of 296?

The divisibility rule for 296 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 296 or not without using the division method. Check whether 592 is divisible by 296 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Check if the number is even. Since 592 is even, proceed to Step 2.


Step 2: Divide the number by 8. 592 ÷ 8 = 74.


Step 3: Check if the result from Step 2 is divisible by 37. Since 74 ÷ 37 = 2, and 2 is an integer, the number is divisible by 296.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 296

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 296.

 

Know the multiples of 296:

 

Memorize the multiples of 296 (296, 592, 888, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If a number is a multiple of 296, then it is divisible by 296.

 

Use factorization:

 

Since 296 = 8 × 37, ensure the number is divisible by both 8 and 37.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by both 8 and 37. 
For example: Check if 5920 is divisible by 296 using the divisibility test. Divide by 8: 5920 ÷ 8 = 740. Then check if 740 is divisible by 37. Since 740 ÷ 37 = 20, the number is divisible by 296.

 

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 verify and also learn.
