Divisibility Rule of 817

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 817.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 817?

The divisibility rule for 817 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 817 or not without using the division method. Check whether 2451 is divisible by 817 with the divisibility rule. 

Step 1: Divide the number into three parts such that the last three digits form one part and the remaining digits form another part. In 2451, the last three digits are 451, and the remaining is 2.

Step 2: Find the difference between 451 and 3 times the remaining value (2 in this case). 451 - 3 × 2 = 451 - 6 = 445.

Step 3: If the result from Step 2 is a multiple of 817, then the original number is divisible by 817. If the result is not a multiple of 817, then the number is not divisible by 817.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 817

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 817.

 

Know the multiples of 817:


Memorize the multiples of 817 (817, 1634, 2451, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 817, then the number is divisible by 817.

 

Use the negative numbers:


If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:


Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is easily identified as a multiple of 817. 

 

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 verify and also learn.

Problem 1

Is 8170 divisible by 817?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 8170 is divisible by 817.
 

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 8170 by 817, we need to perform a specific calculation:


1) Divide the number by 817 directly. \(8170 ÷ 817 = 10\).


2) Since 10 is an integer, 8170 is divisible by 817.

Problem 2

Check if 2451 is divisible by 817.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

No, 2451 is not divisible by 817.
 

Explanation

To determine if 2451 is divisible by 817:


1) Divide 2451 by 817. \(2451 ÷ 817 ≈ 3.002\).


2) Since the result is not an integer, 2451 is not divisible by 817.
