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 67.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 67?

The divisibility rule for 67 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 67 or not, without using the division method. Check whether 4021 is divisible by 67 with the divisibility rule.  


Step 1: Multiply the last digit of the number by 5, here in 4021, 1 is the last digit, multiply it by 5. 1 × 5 = 5.  


Step 2: Subtract the result from Step 1 from the remaining values, but do not include the last digit. i.e., 402–5 = 397.


Step 3: As it is shown that 397 is not a multiple of 67, therefore, the number is not divisible by 67. If the result from step 2 is a multiple of 67, then the number is divisible by 67.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 67

Learn the divisibility rule to help kids master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 67.

Know the multiples of 67:  


Memorize the multiples of 67 (67, 134, 201, 268, 335… etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the result from the subtraction is a multiple of 67, then the number is divisible by 67.

Use 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 67.  
For example: Check if 13421 is divisible by 67 using the divisibility test.  
Multiply the last digit by 5, i.e., 1 × 5 = 5.  
Subtract the remaining digits excluding the last digit by 5, 1342–5 = 1337.  
Still, 1337 is a large number, hence we will repeat the process again and multiply the last digit by 5, 7 × 5 = 35.  
Now subtracting 35 from the remaining numbers excluding the last digit, 133–35 = 98.  
Since 98 is not a multiple of 67, 13421 is not divisible by 67.

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.
