<p>Let's check whether 3840 is divisible by 480 with the divisibility rule. </p>
10
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Check divisibility by 16. The last four digits are 3840. Check if 3840 is divisible by 16. 3840 ÷ 16 = 240, which is an integer, so 3840 is divisible by 16. </p>
10
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Check divisibility by 16. The last four digits are 3840. Check if 3840 is divisible by 16. 3840 ÷ 16 = 240, which is an integer, so 3840 is divisible by 16. </p>
11
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check divisibility by 3. Add the digits: 3 + 8 + 4 + 0 = 15. Since 15 is divisible by 3, 3840 is divisible by 3. </p>
11
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check divisibility by 3. Add the digits: 3 + 8 + 4 + 0 = 15. Since 15 is divisible by 3, 3840 is divisible by 3. </p>
12
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Check divisibility by 5. The number ends in 0, so it is divisible by 5. </p>
12
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Check divisibility by 5. The number ends in 0, so it is divisible by 5. </p>
13
<p>Since 3840 passes all these tests, it is divisible by 480. </p>
13
<p>Since 3840 passes all these tests, it is divisible by 480. </p>
