Divisibility Rule of 718

The divisibility rule for 718 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 718 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1436 is divisible by 718 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 1436, 6 is the last digit, multiply it by 2. 6 × 2 = 12.

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 143–12 = 131.

Step 3: As it is shown that 131 is not a multiple of 718, therefore, the number is not divisible by 718. If the result from Step 2 was a multiple of 718, then the number would be divisible by 718.

• Divisibility rule: The set of rules used to find out whether a number is divisible by another number or not. For example, a number is divisible by 2 if the number ends with even numbers.

• Multiples: Multiples are the results we get after multiplying a number by an integer. For example, multiples of 718 are 718, 1436, 2154, 2872, etc.

• Integers: Integers are the numbers that include all the whole numbers, negative numbers, and zero.

• Subtraction: Subtraction is a process of finding out the difference between two numbers, by reducing one number from another.

• Verification: The process of confirming the correctness of a calculation or procedure, often by using another method, such as division in this case.
