Welcome to Smile and Learn! Today, we’re going to have some fun with numbers and learn about how to tell if a number can be divided by eight without any leftovers. Imagine we have 2,856 hens, and we want to build eight cozy chicken coops for them. But here’s the big question: will all the coops be full, or will there be some hens left out?
To figure this out, we can use a special trick called the divisibility rule for eight. This rule helps us know if a number can be divided by eight perfectly. Let’s see how it works!
First, we need to look at the last three digits of the number. For our number, 2,856, the last three digits are 856. There are two things we can check:
Now, let’s divide 856 by eight. When we do this, we find that 856 divided by eight equals 107 with no remainder. This means it’s a perfect division, and 2,856 is divisible by eight!
So, all the chicken coops will be full, and no hens will be left out. That’s great news!

Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom. Look for numbers on books, clocks, or any other items. Write down the last three digits of these numbers and check if they are divisible by eight using the divisibility rule. Share your findings with a friend or family member and see who can find the most numbers that are divisible by eight!
Build Your Own Coops: Imagine you have a different number of hens, like 1,024 or 3,456. Use small objects like blocks or coins to represent the hens. Try to divide them into groups of eight to see if you can make equal groups without any leftovers. This hands-on activity will help you understand how divisibility works in a fun and practical way!
Divisibility Detective: Become a divisibility detective and create a list of numbers between 100 and 999. Use the divisibility rule for eight to determine which numbers are divisible by eight. Write down your results and see if you can find any patterns or interesting facts about the numbers that are divisible by eight. Share your discoveries with your class!

Welcome to Smile and Learn! Today, we’re exploring numbers divisible by eight. There are 2,856 hens, and believe it or not, I know all of their names too! I’m going to build eight cedar coops, which is the perfect number for them to be comfortable. However, I have the same question as before: will any chicken coop be incomplete?
To eliminate any doubt, I will use the divisibility rule of eight. With such a large number, it will be very useful. Let’s find out which numbers are divisible by eight. We need to look at the last three digits and see if they meet one of the two criteria for the divisibility rule of eight.
First, we will check if the last three digits are three zeros. The last three digits of our number are 856, so this criterion is not met.
Now, for the second rule, we will check if the last three digits are divisible by eight. This means we need to divide them by eight and look at the remainder. Let’s do it! The remainder of 856 divided by 8 is 0, which means it is a perfect division. This indicates that 2,856 is divisible by eight, and therefore, no chicken coop will be incomplete.
That’s quite a few! I’ll ask the whole family for help.
