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 488.
The divisibility rule for 488 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 488 or not without using the division method. Check whether 976 is divisible by 488 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Divide the number into two parts, the last three digits and the rest. Here, in 976, the last three digits are 976, and there are no other digits.
Step 2: Check if the number formed by the last three digits, 976, is divisible by 488.
Step 3: Since 976 divided by 488 is exactly 2, it shows that 976 is a multiple of 488, and therefore, the number is divisible by 488.
Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 488.
The divisibility rule of 488 helps us quickly check if the given number is divisible by 488, but common mistakes like calculation errors can lead to incorrect results. Here we will understand some common mistakes that will help you.
Is 976 divisible by 488?
Yes, 976 is divisible by 488.
Since 976 is a relatively larger number, let's apply a divisibility check:
1) Split the number into two parts: 9 and 76.
2) Double the first part: 9 × 2 = 18.
3) Subtract this result from the second part: 76 - 18 = 58.
4) Check if 58 is a multiple of 488. In this case, 58 is not a multiple of 488, so we revisit our steps.
5) Since we made an error, we directly divide 976 by 488 and get a quotient of 2 with no remainder, confirming divisibility.
Check the divisibility rule of 488 for 1464.
Yes, 1464 is divisible by 488.
To verify, follow these steps:
1) Break the number into parts: 14 and 64.
2) Double the first part: 14 × 2 = 28.
3) Subtract from the second part: 64 - 28 = 36.
4) Since 36 is not a multiple of 488, directly dividing 1464 by 488 gives a quotient of 3, confirming it is divisible.
Is -2440 divisible by 488?
Yes, -2440 is divisible by 488.
For a negative number, consider the positive equivalent:
1) Consider 2440.
2) Break the number into parts: 24 and 40.
3) Double the first part: 24 × 2 = 48.
4) Subtract from the second part: 40 - 48 = -8.
5) Since -8 is not a multiple of 488, directly dividing 2440 by 488 results in a quotient of 5, confirming divisibility.
Can 732 be divisible by 488 following the divisibility rule?
No, 732 isn't divisible by 488.
To check:
1) Split the number into two parts: 7 and 32.
2) Double the first part: 7 × 2 = 14.
3) Subtract from the second part: 32 - 14 = 18.
4) Since 18 is not a multiple of 488, and directly dividing 732 by 488 results in a quotient that is not an integer, it confirms non-divisibility.
Check the divisibility rule of 488 for 1952.
Yes, 1952 is divisible by 488.
Verify through steps:
1) Separate into parts: 19 and 52.
2) Double the first part: 19 × 2 = 38.
3) Subtract from the second part: 52 - 38 = 14.
4) Since 14 is not a multiple of 488, directly dividing 1952 by 488 results in a quotient of 4, confirming divisibility.
