Answer:

  • Joyce is incorrect; 14 is not divisible by 4
  • Nathan is correct; 4 is divisible by 2 and all numbers with 4 in the ones place have 2 as a factor.

Explanation:

We know that 4 is divisible by 4, and 14 is not. It has to do with 14 = 4 + 10, where 10 does not have 4 as a factor.

On the other hand, both 4 and 14 are divisible by 2. That's because 14 = 4 + 10, where 10 has 2 as a factor.

Joyce is incorrect; Nathan is correct—for the reasons shown above.
