Question

Test the divisibility of the following numbers by 2:

(i) 6520
(ii) 984325
(iii) 367314

Answer 1

Rule: A natural number is divisible by 2 if its unit digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

(i) Here, the unit's digit = 0
Thus, the given number is divisible by 2.

(ii) Here, the unit's digit = 5
Thus, the given number is not divisible by 2.

(iii) Here, the unit's digit = 4
Thus, the given number is divisible by 2.
