use the tens place to multiply by 2, then use the number to subtract the ones place.The answer can be divided by 7, if not it will be 0.use 490 as an example.9x2=18.18-4=14.14 divided by 7 is 2. so 49 can be divide by 7.

Above is falsely formulated, but the idea is correct. Also there are different solutions.

Correct: Subtract 2 times the last digit from the truncated number. Ignore negative sign. Repeat until 0 or 7, then original number is divisible by 7.

Example: 28 -> 2.8 - 2 = 14 -> 2.4 - 1 = 7, so 28 is divisible by 7.

Example: 490 -> 2.0 - 49 = -49 -> 49 -> 2.9-4 = 14 -> 2.4 - 1 = 7, so 490 is divisible by 7.

Take the last digit and subtract it from 4 times the truncated number. Repeat until 0 or 7, then original number is divisible by 7.

Example: 28 -> 4.2 - 8 = 0, hence 28 is divisible by 7.

Example: 490 -> 4.49 - 0 = 196 -> 4.19 - 6 = 76 - 6 = 70 -> 4.7 - 0 = 28 -> 0 (see previous example), hence 490 is divisible by 7.

Such computations are not that much easier than dividing by 7 and finding a remainder of 0, but it uses smaller factors.

What is a divisiblity rule?

it is a rule that is followed when wanting to see if a number can go into another number. ex: the divisibility rule for 3 is if the sum of the numbers is divisible by three then the whole number is divisible by 3. if the problem is 75, 3 can go into it because the sum of the numbers equals 12, look 7+5 = 12 . you can look up other divisibility rules on here but if found please answer my question.... what is the divisibility rule for 7?

What is the divisiblity rule of 9?

The rule to decide if a number is divisible by 9 is to look at the sum of the digits. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, then so is the number.

Is there a skunk in ping pong?

No, the "skunk" rule is a made up basement rule. If you are playing with your friends, and you want to play the "skunk" rules, then its 7-0 or 11-1. But the OFFICIAL rules of the ITTF do not include this rule.


What is divisiblity rule for numbers 2to20?

In most cases, it is easier to do the division than to use some special divisibility rule. Divisibility rules only save you time in some special cases, such as:2, 4, 8, 5, 10, 25 (look at the last digit or digits)3, 9 (add the digits, and see if it is divisible by 3 or by 9, respectively)7, 11, and 13 (separate the last three digits and subtract from the remaining number)
