When we divide numbers, we often need to know if they are evenly divisible by other numbers. It is very helpful if we know if they can be evenly divided by another number without a remainder.
If we need to know whether a number is divisible by 2, the number being divided must end with a 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0. Let's take a look at a couple examples.
Is 24 divisible by 2?
Solution: The ending digit in 24 is a 4, and it is definitely divisible by 2.
Is 347 divisible by 2?
Solution: The last digit is 7, which is not 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0. We can quickly conclude that 347 is not divisible by 7.
