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 616.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 616?

The divisibility rule for 616 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 616 or not without using the division method. Check whether 7392 is divisible by 616 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 8 and 77. This is because 616 = 8 × 77.

 

Step 2: For divisibility by 8, check the last three digits of the number. If they form a number divisible by 8, then the number is divisible by 8. Here, the last three digits of 7392 are 392, and 392 ÷ 8 = 49 with no remainder, so 7392 is divisible by 8.

 

Step 3: For divisibility by 77, check if the number is divisible by both 7 and 11. Use the divisibility rules for 7 and 11 to verify. For 7, using the divisibility rule, 7392 gives 7 + 3 × 2 - 9 = 2, which is divisible by 7. For 11, the alternating sum of the digits is 7 - 3 + 9 - 2 = 11, which is divisible by 11.

 

Step 4: Since 7392 is divisible by both 8 and 77, it is divisible by 616.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 616

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 616.

 

  • Know the factors of 616: Memorize that 616 = 8 × 77 to easily remember the divisibility rule.

 

  • Verify divisibility by smaller numbers: First, check if the number is divisible by 8 and 77 separately.

 

  • Use known divisibility rules: Apply known rules for divisibility, such as those for 8, 7, and 11.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process with smaller components (like 8 and 77) until they verify divisibility.

 

  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method to verify and crosscheck their results, which will help them learn and confirm their answers.
