Divisibility by 10:

How do you know that a number is divisible by 10? Well, a number is divisible by 10 if the last digit of a given number is 0. 

Example 1:


The first thing that we need to do is to inspect the given number if it is divisible by 10 or not.

Since the last digit of a given number is not 0, then the given number is not divisible by 10. There's a remainder of 5 in the division. The answer or a quotient must be a whole number itself. You should not have a fraction or a remainder in the final answer. 

Example 2:


The first thing that we need to do is to inspect the given number if it is divisible by 10 or not.

Since the last digit of a given number is 0, then the given number is divisible by 10. There's no remainder or a fraction in the division.

You should consider in studying the divisibility of a number because you will use these principles later when you will study higher Math subjects that involves the division of a number, simplifying fractions, and even factoring. 


This method can also be used for negative integers as long as the last digit of a given number is 0. Again, there should be no remainder or a fraction in the division.
