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 371.

What is the Divisibility Rule of 371?

The divisibility rule for 371 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 371 or not without using the division method. Check whether 742 is divisible by 371 with the divisibility rule.  

Step 1: Identify the number, here in 742, and compare it to 371.

Step 2: Divide the number by 371 to see if it results in a whole number. 742 ÷ 371 = 2.

Step 3: As 742 ÷ 371 equals 2, which is a whole number, 742 is divisible by 371. If the result from step 2 isn't a whole number, then the number isn't divisible by 371.

Tips and Tricks for Divisibility Rule of 371

Learn the divisibility rule to help master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 371.
 

  • Know the multiples of 371: Memorize the multiples of 371 (371, 742, 1113, 1484... etc.) to quickly check the divisibility. If the division results in a whole number, then the number is divisible by 371.
     
  • Use estimation: If the number is close to a multiple of 371, estimate to check divisibility without full division.
     
  • Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a manageable number to check if it is divisible by 371.  
     
  • 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.

Problem 1

Is 742 divisible by 371?

Okay, lets begin

Yes, 742 is divisible by 371.

Explanation

To determine if 742 is divisible by 371, use the divisibility rule:

1) Multiply the last digit by 2, 2 × 2 = 4.

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 74 – 4 = 70.

3) Check if 70 is a multiple of 371. No, but since 742 is exactly 2 times 371, it is divisible.

Problem 2

Check the divisibility rule of 371 for 1113.

Okay, lets begin

No, 1113 is not divisible by 371.

Explanation

To check divisibility for 1113, follow these steps:

1) Multiply the last digit by 2, 3 × 2 = 6.

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 111 – 6 = 105.

3) Check if 105 is a multiple of 371. No, 105 is not a multiple of 371.

Problem 3

Is -742 divisible by 371?

Okay, lets begin

Yes, -742 is divisible by 371.

Explanation

Check the divisibility of -742 by removing the negative sign:

1) Multiply the last digit by 2, 2 × 2 = 4.

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 74 – 4 = 70.

3) Check if 70 is a multiple of 371. No, but since 742 is exactly 2 times 371, it is divisible. Thus, -742 is also divisible.

Problem 5

Check the divisibility rule of 371 for 1484.

Okay, lets begin

Yes, 1484 is divisible by 371.
 

Explanation

To check divisibility for 1484:

1) Multiply the last digit by 2, 4 × 2 = 8.

2) Subtract the result from the remaining digits, excluding the last digit, 148 – 8 = 140.

3) Check if 140 is a multiple of 371. No, but since 1484 is exactly 4 times 371, it is divisible.
