Divisibility Rule of 904

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine 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 904.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 904?

The divisibility rule for 904 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 904 or not without using the division method. Check whether 3616 is divisible by 904 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Break down 904 into its prime factors: 904 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 113.

Step 2: Check if the number is divisible by each of these factors: 
- Check divisibility by 8 (2 × 2 × 2 = 8): The last three digits of 3616 are 616. If 616 is divisible by 8, proceed. 616 ÷ 8 = 77, which is an integer.
- Check divisibility by 113: Divide 3616 by 113. If the result is an integer, the number is divisible by 113. 3616 ÷ 113 = 32, which is an integer.

Step 3: Since 3616 is divisible by both 8 and 113, it is divisible by 904.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 904

Understanding the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 904.

Know the prime factors of 904:

Memorize the prime factors (2, 113) to quickly check divisibility. If a number is divisible by both 8 and 113, it is divisible by 904.

Use smaller factors first:

Start with smaller factors like 8 to quickly determine divisibility before checking divisibility by 113.

Repeat the process for large numbers:

Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach divisibility conclusions for both 8 and 113. For example, check if 1808 is divisible by 904:
- Check divisibility by 8: The last three digits are 808. 808 ÷ 8 = 101, which is an integer.
- Check divisibility by 113: 1808 ÷ 113 = 16, which is an integer.
Since both conditions are met, 1808 is divisible by 904.

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.
