Divisibility Rule of 641

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 divisibility rules for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 641.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 641?

The divisibility rule for 641 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 641 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1282 is divisible by 641 with the divisibility rule.



Step 1: Double the last digit of the number. Here in 1282, 2 is the last digit. Double it: 2 × 2 = 4.



Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining digits of the number, excluding the last digit. So, 128 – 4 = 124.



Step 3: Since 124 is not divisible by 641, 1282 is not divisible by 641.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 641

Learning divisibility rules helps kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 641.

 

  • Know the multiples of 641: Memorize the multiples of 641 (641, 1282, 1923, etc.) to quickly check divisibility.

 

  • Use the negative numbers: If the result after subtraction is negative, consider it as positive for checking divisibility.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 641. 

    For example: Check if 2564 is divisible by 641 using the divisibility test.

    Double the last digit: 4 × 2 = 8. 

    Subtract from the remaining digits: 256 – 8 = 248. 

    Since 248 is not divisible by 641, 2564 is not divisible by 641.

 

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