To find out, if a number is divisible by 7, take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the rest of the number. If you get an answer divisible by 7 (including zero), then the original number is divisible by 7.
If you don't know the new number's divisibility, you can apply the rule again.
Eg: Take the number 343
The units digit is 3.
Doubling this 3,we get 6.
Subtracting 3 from 34(that is the remaining 2 digits in the number), we get 34-6=28.
As 28 is divisible by 7, The whole number, i.e., 343 is divisible by 7.
Proof of Divisibilty Rule for 7
Let 'D' ( > 10 ) be the dividend.
Let D1 be the units' digit
and D2 be the rest of the number of D.
i.e. D = D1 + 10D2
We have to prove
(i) if D2 - 2D1 is divisible by 7,
then D is also divisible by 7
and (ii) if D is divisible by 7,
then D2 - 2D1 is also divisible by 7.
Proof of (i) :
D2 - 2D1 is divisible by 7 ⇒ D2 - 2D1 = 7k where k is any natural number.
Multiplying both sides by 10, we get
10D2 - 20D1 = 70k
Adding D1 to both sides, we get
(10D2 + D1) - 20D1 = 70k + D1
⇒ (10D2 + D1) = 70k + D1 + 20D1
⇒ D = 70k + 21D1 = 7(10k + 3D1) = a multiple of 7.
⇒ D is divisible by 7. (proved.)
Proof of (ii) :
D is divisible by 7 ⇒ D1 + 10D2 is divisible by 7 ⇒ D1 + 10D2 = 7k where k is any natural number.
Subtracting 21D1 from both sides, we get
10D2 - 20D1 = 7k - 21D1
⇒ 10(D2 - 2D1) = 7(k - 3D1)
⇒ 10(D2 - 2D1) is divisible by 7
Since 10 is not divisible by 7,
(D2 - 2D1) is divisible by 7. (proved.)
There is no easy rule for divisibility by 34.
By tautology. If it did not work, it would not be a divisibility rule!
why does the divisibility rule work for 4
What is the divisblity rule by 8
there is a divisibility for 24 the rule is you can divide 24 as 6 and 4 i think
There is no easy rule for divisibility by 34.
The divisibility rules of 4 and 9 are combined to make the divisibility rule of 36.
By tautology. If it did not work, it would not be a divisibility rule!
why does the divisibility rule work for 4
the divisibility rule for 2 is: The number is even;the last digit ends with a 2,4,6,8,10, etc.The divisibility rule fir 3 is: The sum of the number is divisible by 3The divisibility rule for 4 is: The last two digits are divisible by 4The divisibility rule for 5 is: The number ends with a 5 or 0The divisibility rule for 6 is: The sum CAN be divisible by 2 and or 3The divisibility rule for 9 is: The sum of the number is divisible by 9The divisibility rule for 10 is : The number ends with a 0
What is the divisblity rule by 8
The divisibility rule for 2 works because the base of our number system, 10, is divisible by 2.
there is a divisibility for 24 the rule is you can divide 24 as 6 and 4 i think
Divisibility is a noun meaning being capable of being divided. Example sentences: "The rule for divisibility by 5 is that the number ends in 0 or 5." "The easy divisibility of the cookies prevented fights among the children." "The divisibility of this pie is questionable, at best."
