What is the Divisibility Rule of 940?

The divisibility rule for 940 is a method to find out if a number is divisible by 940 without using the division method. Let's check whether 2820 is divisible by 940 using the divisibility rule.
 

Step 1: Check the divisibility by 10, 94, and 100 to determine divisibility by 940.

- 2820 is divisible by 10 since it ends with a 0.

- Divide 282 by 94. Since 282 is divisible by 94 (282/94 = 3), 2820 is divisible by 940.divisibility rule of 940
