What is the Divisibility Rule of 468?

The divisibility rule for 468 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 468 or not without using the division method. Check whether 936 is divisible by 468 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Divide the number by 468. If the result is a whole number, then the original number is divisible by 468. In this case, 936 ÷ 468 = 2, which is an integer.  

Step 2: Therefore, 936 is divisible by 468.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 468

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 468.  

 

  • Know the factors of 468: 468 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 13. A number must be divisible by each of these factors for it to be divisible by 468.  

 

 

  • Use the factorization method: By checking divisibility by 2, 3, and 13, you can quickly determine if a number is divisible by 468.  

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep checking divisibility by each factor until they reach a conclusion.
     
    For example: Check if 5616 is divisible by 468 using factors.  Step 1: Check divisibility by 2 (last digit even: 6), by 3 (sum of digits 5+6+1+6=18, divisible by 3), and by 13 (5616 ÷ 13 = 432, which is an integer).  Step 2: 5616 is divisible by 468 because it passes all factor checks. 

 

  • 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.

Problem 1

Can 2808 be divided by 468 using its divisibility rule?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 2808 is divisible by 468.

Explanation

To determine if 2808 is divisible by 468, we need to break it down into a series of checks. 

1) Check divisibility by 2: The number ends in 8, which is even, so it’s divisible by 2.

2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum the digits, 2 + 8 + 0 + 8 = 18, and since 18 is divisible by 3, so is 2808.

3) Check divisibility by 9: Sum the digits again, 18 is divisible by 9, so 2808 is also divisible by 9.

4) Check divisibility by 13: Divide 2808 by 13, which equals exactly 216. Thus, it’s divisible by 13.

Since 2808 meets all these criteria, it is divisible by 468.

Problem 2

Is 936 divisible by 468?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 936 is divisible by 468.

Explanation

To check divisibility:

1) Check divisibility by 2: The last digit is 6, an even number, so 936 is divisible by 2.

2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of the digits is 9 + 3 + 6 = 18, and 18 is divisible by 3.

3) Check divisibility by 9: The sum of the digits is 18, which is divisible by 9.

4) Check divisibility by 13: Dividing 936 by 13 gives exactly 72, so it’s divisible by 13.

Since 936 satisfies all these conditions, it is divisible by 468.

Problem 3

Is 1872 divisible by 468?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 1872 is divisible by 468.

Explanation

To check:

1) Check divisibility by 2: The last digit is 2, which is even, so 1872 is divisible by 2.

2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of the digits is 1 + 8 + 7 + 2 = 18, and 18 is divisible by 3.

3) Check divisibility by 9: The sum of the digits is 18, which is divisible by 9.

4) Check divisibility by 13: Dividing 1872 by 13 gives exactly 144, confirming divisibility by 13.

Thus, 1872 is divisible by 468.

Problem 4

Is 2340 divisible by 468?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 2340 is not divisible by 468.

Explanation

To verify:

1) Check divisibility by 2: The last digit is 0, so 2340 is divisible by 2.

2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of the digits is 2 + 3 + 4 + 0 = 9, and 9 is divisible by 3.

3) Check divisibility by 9: The sum of the digits is 9, which is divisible by 9.

4) Check divisibility by 13: Dividing 2340 by 13 gives approximately 180, not an integer.

Since 2340 does not meet the divisibility condition for 13, it is not divisible by 468.

Problem 5

Can 4680 be checked for divisibility by 468?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 4680 is divisible by 468.

Explanation

To confirm:

1) Check divisibility by 2: The last digit is 0, an even number, so it’s divisible by 2.

2) Check divisibility by 3: Sum of the digits is 4 + 6 + 8 + 0 = 18, which is divisible by 3.

3) Check divisibility by 9: The sum is 18, divisible by 9.

4) Check divisibility by 13: Dividing 4680 by 13 gives exactly 360, confirming divisibility by 13.

Thus, 4680 is divisible by 468.
