Divisibility by 5:
How
do you know that a number is divisible by 5? Well, a number is divisible by 5 if the last digit of a number ends with 5 or 0.
Example 1:
The
first thing that we need to do is to inspect the given number if it is
divisible by 5 or not.
Since the last digit of a given number is not 5 or 0, then the given number is not divisible by 5.
We know that a number ends with 5 or 0 is divisible by 5. There's a remainder of 2 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 5 or not.
Since the last digit of a given number is 5, then the given number is divisible by 5. There's no remainder or a fraction in the division.
Example 3:
The
first thing that we need to do is to inspect the given number if it is
divisible by 5 or not.
Since the last digit of a given number is 0, then the given number is divisible by 5. 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 is either 5 or 0. Again, there should be no remainder or a
fraction in the division.
