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 623.
The divisibility rule for 623 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 623 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1246 is divisible by 623 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 1246, 6 is the last digit, multiply it by 2. 6×2=12
Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 124−12=112.
Step 3: As it is shown that 112 is not a multiple of 623, therefore, the number is not divisible by 623. If the result from step 2 were a multiple of 623, then the number would be divisible by 623.
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 623.
Memorize the multiples of 623 (623, 1246, 1869, 2492, 3115, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 623, then the number is divisible by 623.
If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.
Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 623. For example, check if 3115 is divisible by 623 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 5×2=10. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 10, 311−10=301. Still, 301 is a large number; hence, we will repeat the process again and multiply the last digit by 2, 1×2=2. Now subtracting 2 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 30−2=28. As 28 is not a multiple of 623, 3115 is not divisible by 623.
Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
