Divisibility Rule of 735

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 735.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 735?

The divisibility rule for 735 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 735 or not without using the division method. To check whether a number is divisible by 735, it must be divisible by its prime factors: 5, 21, and 7 (since 735 = 5 × 21 × 7). 

 

For example, check whether 5145 is divisible by 735 using its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Check divisibility by 5. The last digit must be 0 or 5. Since 5145 ends in 5, it is divisible by 5.


Step 2: Check divisibility by 21. A number is divisible by 21 if it is divisible by both 3 and 7. 


- Check divisibility by 3: Sum the digits of 5145 (5+1+4+5=15), and since 15 is divisible by 3, so is 5145.


- Check divisibility by 7 using the rule: Double the last digit and subtract from the rest. 514-10=504, then repeat: 50-8=42. Since 42 is divisible by 7, 504, and hence 5145, is divisible by 7.


Step 3: Since 5145 is divisible by 5, 3, and 7, it is divisible by 735.divisibility rule of 735

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 735

Learn the divisibility rule to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 735.

 

Know the factors of 735:

 

Memorize that 735 = 5 × 21 × 7. For a number to be divisible by 735, it must be divisible by each of these factors.


Use divisibility rules for smaller factors:

 

If a number is divisible by 5, check for divisibility by 21 as a next step.


Repeat the process for large numbers:

 

Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 735. For example, for a large number, first check divisibility by 5, then check divisibility by 21.


Use the division method to verify:

 

After using divisibility rules, verify your result with the division method for accuracy.
