What is the Divisibility Rule of 470?

The divisibility rule for 470 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 470 or not without using the division method. Check whether 940 is divisible by 470 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number ends in 0. Since 940 ends in 0, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Divide the number by 470. If the quotient is an integer, then the number is divisible by 470. Here, 940 ÷ 470 = 2.

Step 3: Since 2 is an integer, 940 is divisible by 470.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 470

Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 470.

 

  • Know the multiples of 470: Memorize the multiples of 470 (470, 940, 1410, 1880, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If your number matches one of these multiples, it is divisible by 470.

 

  • Use rounding: If a number is close to a multiple of 470, quickly estimate to see if it rounds to a multiple of 470 before doing the exact division.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they verify divisibility by whole division.

    For example: Check if 1410 is divisible by 470 using the divisibility test.

    Divide: 1410 ÷ 470 = 3. 

    Since 3 is an integer, 1410 is divisible by 470.

 

  • 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 their work and learn the process.
