What is the Divisibility Rule of 659?

The divisibility rule for 659 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 659 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 1318 is divisible by 659 with the divisibility rule.

 
Step 1: Since 659 is a larger number, there is no simple multiplication step. Instead, divide the number directly by 659 using long division to check.  


Step 2: If the result is an integer with no remainder, then the number is divisible by 659.  


Step 3: For 1318, after performing long division, we see that 1318 ÷ 659 = 2, with no remainder, indicating that 1318 is divisible by 659.divisibility rule of 659

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 659

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 659.  

 

  • Know the multiples of 659: Memorize the multiples of 659 (659, 1318, 1977, 2636…etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the division results in a multiple of 659, then the number is divisible by 659.  
     
  • Check with smaller factors:  Before dividing, check if the number is divisible by smaller factors of 659, such as 7 and 94, to simplify the process.  
     
  • Use approximation for large numbers: For large numbers, approximate the division to see if the number could be close to a multiple of 659. This helps in quickly identifying non-divisible numbers.  
     
  • 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.
