Divisibility Rule of 739

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 739.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 739?

The divisibility rule for 739 is a method by which we can determine if a number is divisible by 739 without using the division method.

Check whether 1478 is divisible by 739 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2. Here in 1478, 8 is the last digit, so multiply it by 2: 8 × 2 = 16.

 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values, but do not include the last digit. For instance, 147 – 16 = 131.

 

Step 3: As it is shown that 131 is not a multiple of 739, the number is not divisible by 739. If the result from Step 2 is a multiple of 739, then the number is divisible by 739.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 739

Learning divisibility rules will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 739.

 

  • Know the multiples of 739: Memorize the multiples of 739 (739, 1478, 2217, 2956, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 739, then the number is divisible by 739.

 

  • Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we can ignore the symbol and 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 739.
     
    For example: Check if 2958 is divisible by 739 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 8 × 2 = 16. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 16, 295 – 16 = 279.
     
    279 is still not small enough, so repeat the process: Multiply the last digit by 2, 9 × 2 = 18. Subtract from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 27 – 18 = 9.

    As 9 is not a multiple of 739, 2958 is not divisible by 739.

 

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