Divisibility Rule of 826

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine whether a number is divisible by another number without performing 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 826.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 826?

The divisibility rule for 826 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 826 or not without using the division method. Check whether 4956 is divisible by 826 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Divide the last three digits by 826 and note the remainder, here in 4956, 956 is the last three digits. 956 ÷ 826 gives a remainder of 130.

 

Step 2: Subtract the remainder from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last three digits. i.e., 4 - 130 = -126.

 

Step 3: Since -126 is not a multiple of 826, the number is not divisible by 826. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 826, then the number is divisible by 826.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 826

Learn the divisibility rule to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 826.

 

Know the multiples of 826:

 

Memorize the multiples of 826 (826, 1652, 2478, 3304, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 826, then the number is divisible by 826.

 

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 divisible by 826. For example: Check if 206952 is divisible by 826 using the divisibility test. Divide the last three digits by 826, i.e., 952 ÷ 826 gives a remainder of 126. Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last three digits by 126, 206 - 126 = 80. Still, 80 is a small number, and since it is not a multiple of 826, 206952 is not divisible by 826.

 

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 4

Can 4956 be divisible by 826 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 4956 isn't divisible by 826.

Explanation

To determine if 4956 is divisible by 826, divide the number by 826.


1) Perform the division: 4956 ÷ 826 = 6 with a remainder.


2) Since the result isn't a whole number, 4956 is not divisible by 826.
