Question

Considering the given numbers, 165 can be divided into equal parts.

• A. 5
• B. 4
• C. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A 5

We have to divide 165 into 5, 4, or 2 equal parts.

Let us take first option, 5.

Divisibility rule of 5 is:
If the digit at ones place is 0 or 5, then the number is divisible by 5.


Hence, 165 can be divided into 5 equal parts.

Now, let's take second option, 4.

Divisibility rule of 4 is:
If the last two digits of a number is divisible by 4, then the number is also divisible by 4.


Hence, 165 cannot be divided into 4 equal parts.

Now, let's take third option, 2.

Divisibility rule of 2 is:
If the digit at the ones place is even, then the number is divisible by 2.


∴ 165 can't be divided equally into 2 parts.

So, from the given option, we can divide 165 into 5 equal parts.
