Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The divisibility rule is a way to determine 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 787.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 787?

The divisibility rule for 787 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 787 or not without using the division method. Check whether 1574 is divisible by 787 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Divide the number into groups of three digits from the right. Here, 1574 becomes 001 and 574.

Step 2: Subtract the second group from the first group. i.e., 001 - 574.

Step 3: If the result is divisible by 787 or equal to 0, then the number is divisible by 787. If the result from step 2 isn't divisible by 787, then the number isn't divisible by 787.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 787

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 787

.

Know the multiples of 787:

Memorize the multiples of 787 (787, 1574, 2361, 3148, etc.) to quickly check the divisibility.

 

Use negative numbers:

If the result after the subtraction is negative, consider it as positive for checking divisibility.

 

Repeat the process for large numbers:

Keep repeating the divisibility process until you reach a small number that is divisible by 787. For example: Check if 2361 is divisible by 787 using the divisibility test.

Divide into groups, 002 and 361. Subtract the second group from the first, 002 - 361 = -359. Consider the absolute value, 359 is not divisible by 787. Therefore, 2361 is not divisible by 787.

 

Use the division method to verify:

Use the division method to verify and crosscheck your results. This will help you confirm your findings.
