Divisibility Rule of 428

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without performing actual division. In real life, we can use the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting items. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 428.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 428?

The divisibility rule for 428 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 428 without using the division method. Check whether 856 is divisible by 428 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Divide the number into two parts. Here, in 856, divide it into 8 and 56.

 

Step 2: Check if both parts are divisible by 4 (since 428 = 4 × 107).

 

Step 3: Since both 8 and 56 are divisible by 4 (8 ÷ 4 = 2 and 56 ÷ 4 = 14), proceed to the next step.

 

Step 4: Check if the result from dividing the parts by 4 is divisible by 107 (since 428 = 4 × 107).

 

Step 5: Since 214 (the result) is divisible by 107 (214 ÷ 107 = 2), 856 is divisible by 428.
