Question

Which of the following numbers are divisible by

a.2 86
b.294 1,112
c.35,857
d.674,942

Answer 1

Numbers 86, 294, 1,112, and 674,942 have even last digits and are divisible by 2, while 35,857 is not divisible by 2 as it ends with the odd digit 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the following numbers are divisible by 2, we need to look at the last digit of each number. A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8). Let's apply this rule:

• a. 86 - The last digit is 6, which is even, so 86 is divisible by 2.
• b. 294 - The last digit is 4, which is even, so 294 is divisible by 2.
• c. 1,112 - The last digit is 2, which is even, so 1,112 is divisible by 2.
• d. 35,857 - The last digit is 7, which is odd, so 35,857 is not divisible by 2.
• e. 674,942 - The last digit is 2, which is even, so 674,942 is divisible by 2.

Therefore, the numbers 86, 294, 1,112, and 674,942 are all divisible by 2. The number 35,857 is not divisible by 2.
