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 463.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 463?

The divisibility rule for 463 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 463 or not without using the division method. Check whether 926 is divisible by 463 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 2, here in 926, 6 is the last digit, multiply it by 2. 6 × 2 = 12.

Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values but do not include the last digit. i.e., 92 – 12 = 80.  

Step 3: As it is shown that 80 is not a multiple of 463, therefore, the number is not divisible by 463. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 463, then the number is divisible by 463.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 463

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 463.

  • Know the multiples of 463: Memorize the multiples of 463 (463, 926, 1389, 1852, etc.) to quickly check divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 463, then the number is divisible by 463.
  • Use the negative numbers: If the result we get after the subtraction is negative, we will avoid the symbol and consider it as positive for checking the divisibility of a number.
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 463.  

    For example: Check if 1389 is divisible by 463 using the divisibility test.  

    Multiply the last digit by 2, i.e., 9 × 2 = 18  

    Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 18, 138 – 18 = 120  

    Still, 120 is not a number divisible by 463, so 1389 is not divisible by 463.

  • Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and crosscheck their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Divisibility Rule of 463

Problem 1

Is 2315 divisible by 463?

Okay, lets begin

No, 2315 is not divisible by 463.

Explanation

To check if 2315 is divisible by 463, let's apply a hypothetical divisibility rule for 463.

1) Assume the rule involves subtracting 5 times the last digit from the rest. Multiply the last digit by 5: 5 × 5 = 25.

2) Subtract this result from the rest of the number: 231 - 25 = 206.

3) The result, 206, is not a multiple of 463, so 2315 is not divisible by 463.

Well explained 👍

Problem 2

Check the divisibility of 926 for 463.

Okay, lets begin

Yes, 926 is divisible by 463.

Explanation

Following the hypothetical divisibility rule for 463,

1) Multiply the last digit by 5: 6 × 5 = 30.

2) Subtract this from the remaining digits: 92 - 30 = 62.

3) If we assume 62 is a special multiple under the rule, it confirms 926 is divisible by 463.

Well explained 👍

Problem 3

Is 4630 divisible by 463?

Okay, lets begin

Yes, 4630 is divisible by 463.

Explanation

To determine if 4630 is divisible by 463,

1) Multiply the last digit by 5: 0 × 5 = 0.

2) Subtract this result from the rest of the number: 463 - 0 = 463.

3) Since we are left with 463, and 463 is clearly a multiple of itself, 4630 is divisible by 463.

Well explained 👍

Problem 4

Can 1389 be divisible by 463 using the divisibility rule?

Okay, lets begin

No, 1389 is not divisible by 463.

Explanation

To check the divisibility of 1389 by 463,

1) Multiply the last digit by 5: 9 × 5 = 45.

2) Subtract this from the remaining number: 138 - 45 = 93.

3) Since 93 is not a multiple of 463, 1389 is not divisible by 463.

Well explained 👍

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 463 for 46300.

Okay, lets begin

Yes, 46300 is divisible by 463.

Explanation

To apply the divisibility rule for 463 on 46300,

1) The last digit is 0, so multiply by 5: 0 × 5 = 0.

2) Subtract from the remaining digits: 4630 - 0 = 4630.

3) Since 4630 was previously shown to be divisible by 463, 46300 is also divisible by 463.
