What is the Divisibility Rule of 640?

The divisibility rule for 640 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 640 or not without using the division method. Check whether 7680 is divisible by 640 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 10. The number 7680 ends with 0, so it is divisible by 10.

 

Step 2: Check if the number obtained by removing the last three digits is divisible by 64. Here, the number is 7 (since 7680 becomes 7 when we remove the last three digits, 680).

 

Step 3: 7 is less than 64 and not divisible by 64, so 7680 is not divisible by 640.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 640

Learn divisibility rules to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 640.

 

  • Know the multiples of 640: Memorize the multiples of 640 (640, 1280, 1920, 2560…etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the number is a multiple of 640, then it is divisible by 640.

 

  • Check divisibility by 10 and 64: Ensure the number is divisible by both 10 and 64. This is necessary for the number to be divisible by 640.

 

  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
