What is the Divisibility Rule of 885?

The divisibility rule for 885 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 885 or not without using the division method.

Check whether 1770 is divisible by 885 with the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check if the number is divisible by 5. Since 1770 ends in 0, it is divisible by 5.

 

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by 177. For this, divide 1770 by 177: 1770 ÷ 177 = 10, which is a whole number, so 1770 is divisible by 177.

 

Step 3: Since 1770 is divisible by both 5 and 177, it is divisible by 885.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 885

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 885.

 

Know the multiples of 885:


Memorize the multiples of 885 (885, 1770, 2655, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If a number is a multiple of 885, then it is divisible by 885.

 

Use smaller divisibility tests:


Test the number for divisibility by both 5 and 177. If the number passes both tests, it is divisible by 885.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:


For large numbers, break them down into smaller parts and check divisibility by both 5 and 177.

 

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.
