What is the Divisibility Rule of 648?

The divisibility rule for 648 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 648 without using the division method. Check whether 7776 is divisible by 648 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 8. For 7776, the last three digits are 776, which is divisible by 8 (since 776 ÷ 8 = 97).

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 81. Sum the digits of 7776: 7+7+7+6 = 27, which is divisible by 9 (since 27 ÷ 9 = 3). Since 81 is a power of 9, repeat the process: 2+7 = 9, which is divisible by 9.

 

Step 3: Since 7776 is divisible by both 8 and 81, it is divisible by 648.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 648

Understanding the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 648.

 

  • Know the multiples of 648: Memorize the multiples of 648 (648, 1296, 1944…etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the checks is a multiple of 648, then the number is divisible by 648.

 

  • Use smaller checks: Break down the divisibility into smaller checks like checking for 8 and 81 separately, which are factors of 648.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is clearly divisible by 648. For example, check if 12960 is divisible by 648.

    Check divisibility by 8: The last three digits, 960, are divisible by 8 (960 ÷ 8 = 120).

    Check divisibility by 81: The sum of the digits, 1+2+9+6+0 = 18, which is divisible by 9.

    Since 12960 is divisible by both 8 and 81, it is divisible by 648.

 

  • 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 confirm and also learn.
