The Divisibility Rule of 456

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 456.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 456?

The divisibility rule for 456 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 456 or not without using the division method. Check whether 912 is divisible by 456 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 3. Add the digits of the number, and if the sum is divisible by 3, then the number passes this step. In 912, 9 + 1 + 2 = 12, and 12 is divisible by 3.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 8. Look at the last three digits of the number. If these three digits form a number divisible by 8, then the number passes this step. In 912, the last three digits are 912, and 912 ÷ 8 = 114, which is a whole number.

 

If a number passes both checks, it is divisible by 456.divisibility rule of 456

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 456

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let's learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 456.

 

  • Know the multiples of 456: Memorize the multiples of 456 (456, 912, 1368, 1824…etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the checks is a multiple of 456, then the number is divisible by 456.
     
  • Use the known divisibility rules: Use the divisibility rules for 3 and 8 separately as a quick check to determine divisibility by 456.
     
  • Practice with large numbers: Practice checking large numbers by ensuring they pass both divisibility tests for 3 and 8.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them verify and also learn.
