What is a quick trick to do division by 2 or more digit number ? Share with your friends Share 1 Vijay Kumar Gupta answered this One can use the following divisibility rules as shortcut tricks to divide a two or more digit number.1 If the end digit of any number is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 then the number is divisble by 2. For example, 24568 is divisibel by 22 If the sum of the digits of any number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisble by 3. For example, in the number 861, 8+6+1=15 which is divisible by 3. So 861 is divisible by 3.3 Any number is divisible by 4 when the last two digits is divisible by 4. For example 85736 is divisible by 4 as 36 is divisible by 4.4 If the end digit of any number is 0, 5 then the number is divisble by 2. For example 455, 1025 are both divisible by 2.5 Any number is divisible by 6 when the number is divisible by 2 and 3 both. For example 65844 is divisible by 2 and 3 both. So it is divisible by 6 also.6 Any number is divisible by 8 when the last three digits is divisible by 8. For example 224256 is divisible by 8 as 256 is divisible by 8.7 If the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9. For example 9522 is divisible by 9.8 Any number is divisible by 10 if it ends with 0. For example 15460, 1200. Apart from above one can use long division method which is described below:The division of a number'a' with 'b' is same as multiplying 'a' with reciprocal of 'b' .This means that, a÷b=a×1b=abFor example: 32÷2=32×12=322The number in the numerator is dividend and the number in denominator is called divisor.The division can be performed as follows: Thus we get, 32÷2=16Similarly, we can divide 15625 by 5 as follows: Thus we get 15625÷5=3125 1 View Full Answer
