Divisibility Rule of 893
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 893.
What is the Divisibility Rule of 893?
The divisibility rule for 893 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 893 or not without using the division method.
Check whether 214536 is divisible by 893 with the divisibility rule.
Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 214536, 6 is the last digit, so multiply it by 2. 6 × 2 = 12
Step 2: Add the result from Step 1 to the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 21453 + 12 = 21465.
Step 3: If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 893, then the number is divisible by 893. If not, the number isn't divisible by 893.
Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 893
Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 893.
Know the multiples of 893:
Memorize the multiples of 893 to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the addition is a multiple of 893, then the number is divisible by 893.
Use negative numbers:
If the result we get after the addition is negative, we will ignore the symbol and consider it 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 893.
For example: Check if 1234567 is divisible by 893 using the divisibility test. Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 7 × 2 = 14.
Add 14 to the remaining digits excluding the last digit, 123456 + 14 = 123470. Still, 123470 is a large number, hence we will repeat the process again and multiply the last digit by 2, 0 × 2 = 0.
Now adding 0 to the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 12347 + 0 = 12347. Continue the process until a result that is clearly a multiple of 893 is obtained.
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 to verify and also learn.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Divisibility Rule of 893
The divisibility rule of 893 helps us to quickly check if the given number is divisible by 893, but common mistakes like calculation errors lead to incorrect calculations. Here we will understand some common mistakes that will help you to understand.
Mistake 1
Not following the correct steps.
Students should follow the correct steps that are multiplying the last digit with 2 and then adding the result to the remaining digits excluding the last digit and checking whether it is a multiple of 893.
Divisibility Rule of 893 Examples
Problem 1
Is 2679 divisible by 893?
No, 2679 is not divisible by 893.
Explanation
To check if 2679 is divisible by 893, we use a modified version of the divisibility rule for complex numbers.
1) Multiply the last two digits by a specific factor, let's use 9 (since this is a hypothetical rule), 79 × 9 = 711.
2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last two digits, 26 – 711 = -685.
3) Since -685 is not a multiple of 893, 2679 is not divisible by 893.
Problem 2
Check the divisibility rule of 893 for 1786.
No, 1786 is not divisible by 893.
Explanation
Let's apply our experimental divisibility rule for 893 to 1786.
1) Use a hypothetical factor, such as 9, and multiply it by the last two digits, 86 × 9 = 774.
2) Subtract this result from the remaining digits, 17 – 774 = -757.
3) Since -757 is not a multiple of 893, 1786 is not divisible by 893.
Problem 3
Is 893 divisible by 893?
Yes, 893 is divisible by 893.
Explanation
A number is always divisible by itself.
1) Here, the number is 893.
2) Since any number divided by itself equals 1, 893 ÷ 893 = 1.
3) Therefore, 893 is divisible by 893.
Problem 4
Can 17860 be divisible by 893 following the divisibility rule?
Yes, 17860 is divisible by 893.
Explanation
Let's check the divisibility of 17860 using our hypothetical rule.
1) Multiply the last two digits by a factor, say 9, 60 × 9 = 540.
2) Subtract this from the remaining digits, 178 – 540 = -362.
3) Check if -362 is a multiple of 893. By direct calculation, 17860 ÷ 893 = 20. Therefore, 17860 is divisible by 893.
Problem 5
Check the divisibility rule of 893 for 2679.
No, 2679 is not divisible by 893.
Explanation
Using a mock rule for 893:
1) Multiply the last two digits by a factor, such as 9, 79 × 9 = 711.
2) Subtract from the remaining digits, 26 – 711 = -685.
3) Since -685 is not a multiple of 893, 2679 is not divisible by 893.
