Question

A number is divisible by 2 if it has 0 or 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 in its units place

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A number is divisible by $2$ if the digit at unit place is either $0$ or multiple of $2$.

So a number is divisible by $2$ if digit at its units place is $0,2,4,6$ or $8$.

Numbers divisible by $2$ are called even numbers.

Numbers not divisible by $2$ are called odd numbers.

Let us consider some of the following numbers which are divisible by $2$ using the divisibility test.

$346,218,106,100,194,152$ here all these numbers is divisible by $2$ because their units place is either $0$ or multiple of $2$.

Whereas, $317,125,103,159$, etc. here all these number is not divisible by $2$ because their units place is not multiple of $2$.

Hence, the statement a number is divisible by $2$ if it has $0$ or $2$ or $4$ or $6$ or $8$ in its units place is true.
