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 740.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 740?

The divisibility rule for 740 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 740 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 1480 is divisible by 740 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 10 (the number must end in 0).

 

Step 2: Divide the number by 10, which gives us 148.

 

Step 3: Check if this new number (148) is divisible by 74, which is a multiple of 740.

 

Step 4: If 148 is divisible by 74, then the original number is divisible by 740. Since 148 divided by 74 equals 2, 1480 is divisible by 740.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 740

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 740.

 

  • Know the multiples of 740: Memorize the first few multiples of 740 (740, 1480, 2220, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the division is a multiple of 740, then the number is divisible by 740.

 

  • Use a calculator for large numbers: For larger numbers, use a calculator to divide by 740 to quickly verify divisibility.

 

  • Repeat the process for large numbers: If the number is too large to handle mentally, break it down into smaller components and check divisibility step by step.

 

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