Divisibility Rule of 312

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 312.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 312?

The divisibility rule for 312 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 312 or not without using the division method. Check whether 936 is divisible by 312 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 3. For 936, sum the digits: 9+3+6=18, which is divisible by 3.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 4. The last two digits of 936 are 36, and 36 is divisible by 4.

 

Step 3: Check if the number is divisible by 13. Divide 936 by 13; 936 ÷ 13 = 72, which is an integer.

 

Since 936 passes all these conditions, it is divisible by 312.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 312

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 312.

 

1. Know the multiples of 312:


Memorize some multiples of 312 (e.g., 312, 624, 936, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If a number is a multiple of 312, it is divisible by 312.

 

2. Use the divisibility rules of 3, 4, and 13:


For a number to be divisible by 312, it must be divisible by 3, 4, and 13. This makes it easier to check larger numbers.

 

3. Repeat the process for large numbers:


   Students should keep repeating the divisibility process for each sub-rule (3, 4, 13) until they reach a conclusion. 

 

4. 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.
