Divisibility Rule of 915

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 915.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 915?

The divisibility rule for 915 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 915 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1830 is divisible by 915 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Check the divisibility by 5 — the last digit must be 0 or 5. Here, 1830 ends in 0, so it is divisible by 5.


Step 2: Check the divisibility by 3 — the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3. The sum of the digits of 1830 is 1+8+3+0=12, which is divisible by 3.


Step 3: Check the divisibility by 61 — Use direct division or another method to verify. Here, 1830 divided by 61 equals 30, so it is divisible by 61.

Since 1830 is divisible by 5, 3, and 61, it is divisible by 915.
