Divisibility Rule of 95

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 95.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 95?

The divisibility rule for 95 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 95 or not without using the division method. Check whether 570 is divisible by 95 with the divisibility rule.  
 

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 9. Here in 570, 0 is the last digit, so multiply it by 9. 0 × 9 = 0.
 

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 57 - 0 = 57.
 

Step 3: Divide the result from Step 2 by 10 (since 95 = 10 × 9 + 5). If the quotient is a multiple of 9 and the remainder is 5, the number is divisible by 95. Here, 57 ÷ 10 = 5 remainder 7 (not divisible since remainder is not 5).divisibility rule of 95

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 95

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 95.

  • Know the multiples of 95: Memorize the multiples of 95 (95, 190, 285, 380, 475… etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the calculation shows the number is a multiple of 95, then it is divisible by 95.
     
  • 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 verify and also learn.

Problem 1

Is 950 divisible by 95?

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

Yes, 950 is divisible by 95.

Explanation

To determine if 950 is divisible by 95, we can use the divisibility rule specific to 95.
 
1) Divide the number into two parts: the last two digits and the rest of the number. Here, the last two digits are 50, and the rest is 9.
 
2) Check if 50 is divisible by 5 (since 95 = 5 × 19) and if the remainder when dividing the whole number by 19 is zero.  

3) Since 50 ends in 0, it is divisible by 5, and 950 divided by 95 equals 10, which is an integer, confirming divisibility.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 95 for 570.

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

No, 570 is not divisible by 95. 

Explanation

To check if 570 is divisible by 95, follow these steps:  

1) Divide the number into two parts: the last two digits and the rest of the number. Here, the last two digits are 70, and the rest is 5.  

2) Check if 70 is divisible by 5, which it is, as it ends in 0.  

3) Now check if the whole number divided by 95 gives an integer. 570 divided by 95 equals 6 with a remainder, thus it is not divisible.

Problem 3

Is -190 divisible by 95?

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

Yes, -190 is divisible by 95.

Explanation

To check if -190 is divisible by 95, we follow these steps:  

1) Ignore the negative sign and consider 190.  

2) Divide it into two parts: 90 and 1 (rest of the number).  

3) Check if 90 is divisible by 5 (it is), and if 190 divided by 95 is an integer.  

4) 190 divided by 95 equals 2, which is an integer, confirming divisibility.

Problem 4

Can 285 be divisible by 95 following the divisibility rule?

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

No, 285 isn't divisible by 95.

Explanation

To check if 285 is divisible by 95:  

1) Divide the number into two parts: the last two digits (85) and the rest (2).  

2) Check if 85 is divisible by 5 (it is), but when dividing 285 by 95, we do not get an integer result.
 
3) Therefore, 285 is not divisible by 95.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 95 for 760.

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

No, 760 is not divisible by 95.

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 760 by 95:  

1) Divide the number into two parts: the last two digits (60) and the rest (7).  

2) Check if 60 is divisible by 5 (it is), but 760 divided by 95 equals 8 with a remainder.  

3) Thus, 760 is not divisible by 95.
