Question

State True or False:
If 52 is divisible by 4, then 56 is also divisible by 4.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

If 52 is divisible by 4, the next 4th number from 52 should also be divisible by 4.

$\to$ $52+4=56$

Hence, 56 is also divisible by 4.

Alternate method

If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, then the entire number is divisible by 4.

e.g In 52 last 2 digits are 52 which is divisible by 4.

$\to$ $52÷4=13$ with remainder 0.

Similarly, In 56 last 2 digits are 56 which is divisible by 4.

$\to$ $56÷4=14$ with remainder 0.
