What is the Divisibility Rule of 284?

The divisibility rule for 284 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 284 or not without using the division method. Check whether 568 is divisible by 284 with the divisibility rule.

 

Step 1: Since 284 is a composite number, it can be broken down into its prime factors for simpler checking. The prime factors of 284 are 2 and 71 (284 = 2 × 2 × 71). Therefore, a number divisible by 284 must be divisible by both 4 (2×2) and 71.

 

Step 2: First, check divisibility by 4. For 568, look at the last two digits, 68. Since 68 is divisible by 4, we proceed to the next step.

 

Step 3: Check divisibility by 71. Divide 568 by 71. Since 568 ÷ 71 = 8 without a remainder, 568 is divisible by 71.

 

Step 4: Since 568 is divisible by both 4 and 71, it is also divisible by 284.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 284

  • Know the multiples of 284: Memorize the multiples of 284 (284, 568, 852…etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If a number is a multiple of 284, it is divisible by 284.
     
  • Break down into factors: Use the prime factors of 284 (2, 2, 71) to simplify the process. If a number is divisible by 4 and 71, it is divisible by 284.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process with smaller components until they reach a conclusion. 
     
  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method to verify and cross-check their results. This helps in learning and confirming the accuracy of results.
