What is the Divisibility Rule of 602?

The divisibility rule for 602 is a method to determine if a number is divisible by 602 without using the division method. Check whether 1204 is divisible by 602 using the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 2, 3, and 401, as these are the prime factors of 602. 

  • Divisibility by 2: The last digit is 4, which is even, so 1204 is divisible by 2.
  • Divisibility by 3: Sum the digits, 1+2+0+4=7, which is not divisible by 3.
  • Divisibility by 401: This requires checking divisibility directly through division or using divisibility patterns, if known.

Since 1204 is not divisible by 3, it is not divisible by 602.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 602

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Here are a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 602:

Know the prime factors: Memorize the prime factors of 602 (2, 3, 401) to quickly check divisibility.

Use checks for smaller factors: Begin with checking divisibility by smaller factors before moving to larger or direct division checks.

Repeat the process for large numbers: For large numbers, ensure divisibility by each prime factor separately for accuracy.

Use the division method to verify: Use the division method to verify and crosscheck results. This helps ensure accuracy.

Understand the relationships: Knowing the relationship between the factors of 602 can help in quickly determining divisibility.

Problem 1

Is 2410 divisible by 602?

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

 No, 2410 is not divisible by 602. 

Explanation

To check if 2410 is divisible by 602, we can perform the following steps:  

1) Consider the last three digits of the number, which are 410.  

2) Check if 410 is divisible by 602, which it is not since 410 is less than 602 and does not divide evenly.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 602 for 1806.

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

Yes, 1806 is divisible by 602.  
 

Explanation

For checking the divisibility rule of 602 for 1806, follow these steps:  

1) Consider the last three digits of the number, which are 806.  

2) Check if 806 is divisible by 602. Since 806 divided by 602 equals 1 remainder 204, you should check the entire number.  


3) 1806 divided by 602 is exactly 3, indicating divisibility.

Problem 3

Is -3010 divisible by 602?

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

No, -3010 is not divisible by 602

Explanation

To check if -3010 is divisible by 602, ignore the negative sign and check as follows:  

1) Consider the last three digits, which are 010 (or simply 10).  


2) Check if 10 is divisible by 602. Since 10 is much less than 602, it is not divisible.

Problem 4

Can 3612 be divisible by 602 following the divisibility rule?

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

Yes, 3612 is divisible by 602.

Explanation

To determine if 3612 is divisible by 602, follow these steps:
 
1) Consider the last three digits, which are 612.

 
2) Check if 612 is divisible by 602. Since 612 divided by 602 equals 1 remainder 10, verify the whole number.  


3) 3612 divided by 602 equals 6, confirming divisibility.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 602 for 1204.

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

No, 1204 is not divisible by 602.  
 

Explanation

 To check the divisibility rule of 602 for 1204, follow these steps:  

1) Consider the last three digits, which are 204.  

2) Check if 204 is divisible by 602. Since 204 is less than 602 and does not divide evenly, the entire number is not divisible.
