Question

The result when a number is divided by $2$ is equal to the result when that same number is divided by $4$. What is that number?

• A. $-4$
• B. $-2$
• C. $0$
• D. $2$
• E. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $0$

Let the number is $x$

It divided by $2=$ $\frac{x}{2}$

And divided by $4=$ $\frac{x}{4}$

$\therefore \frac{x}{2}=\frac{x}{4}$

$\Rightarrow 4x=2x$

$\Rightarrow 2x=x$

The only time that can be possible is when $x=0$

$2\left(0\right)=0$

Then $0$ is the number.
