Divisibility Rule of 679

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 the divisibility rule for quick math, dividing things evenly, and sorting things. In this topic, we will learn about the divisibility rule of 679.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 679?

The divisibility rule for 679 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 679 without using the division method. Check whether 2037 is divisible by 679 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is a multiple of 679. If you are familiar with the multiples of 679, you can quickly determine divisibility. In this case, since 2037 is not a multiple of 679, proceed to the next step.
 

Step 2: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 2037, 7 is the last digit, multiply it by 2. 7 × 2 = 14.
 

Step 3: Subtract the result from Step 2 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 203–14 = 189.
 

Step 4: If the result from step 3 is a multiple of 679, then the number is divisible by 679. Otherwise, it isn't. In this example, 189 is not a multiple of 679, so 2037 is not divisible by 679.divisibility rule of 679

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 679

Learning the divisibility rule will help you master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 679.
 

  • Know the multiples of 679: Memorize the multiples of 679 (679, 1358, 2037, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 679, then the number is divisible by 679.
     
  • Use negative numbers: If the result we get after subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it positive for checking the divisibility of a number.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Keep repeating the divisibility process until you reach a small number that is divisible by 679. 

    For example, check if 4731 is divisible by 679 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 1 × 2 = 2.

    Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 2, 473–2 = 471.

    Since 471 is not divisible by 679, 4731 is not divisible by 679.
     
  • Use the division method to verify: You can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check your results. This will help you verify and also learn.
