Question

Select all possible numbers:

4 , 2 , 10 , 5

Answer 1

all of the are correct

Answer 2

4 , 2 , 10 , 5

Explanation:

46,880

Since this is an even number, we can divide by 2

46,880/2 =23440

Since this number ends in either a 0 or a 5 we can divide by 5

46880/5 =9376

Since the number is divisible by 2 and 5, we know it is divisible by 10

46880/10 =4688

The only number we need to check is 4

If the last 2 numbers are divisible by 4 then the number is divisible by 4

80/4 = 20 so the number is divisible by 4

46880/4 =11720

46880 is divisible by 4,2,10,5
