Divisibility Rule of 580

The divisibility rule for 580 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 580 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1160 is divisible by 580 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Check the number is divisible by both 2 and 5 (since 580 ends in zero, it is divisible by 10, so we only need to check these two conditions first).

- 1160 is even, so it is divisible by 2.

- The last digit of 1160 is 0, so it is divisible by 5.

Step 2: Divide the number by 10 (since 580=58×10), now check if 116 is divisible by 58.

- Divide 116 by 58. We get 116÷58=2, which is an integer.

Step 3: Since both conditions are met, 1160 is divisible by 580.

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 580.

• Know the multiples of 580: Memorize the multiples of 580 (580, 1160, 1740, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility.
   
• Verify divisibility by 2 and 5: Numbers ending in 0 are divisible by 10, but ensure the number is divisible by both 2 and 5 to confirm divisibility by 10.
   
• Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to confirm their calculations and also learn.

• Divisibility rule: The set of rules used to find out whether a number is divisible by another number or not.
   
• Multiples: Multiples are the results we get after multiplying a number by an integer. For example, multiples of 580 are 580, 1160, 1740, etc.
   
• Integer: Integers are the numbers that include all whole numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
   
• Division: Division is the process of determining how many times one number is contained within another.
   
• Remainder: A remainder is the amount left over after division when one number does not divide the other exactly.
