10.
LEARN ABOUT IT!
Divisibility is an important math concept that we should master because of its useful
applications in our daily lives. We sometimes buy in a grocery store that has a lot of sale items.
We tend to buy items that are worth the money we spent for. We can use divisibility rules to
weigh which items are more for their value.
In this unit, you will learn how to find factors of a number using divisibility rules and apply them
in solving real-world problems.
Divisibility
The “ability” of a number to be divided by another number without a remainder; if a number is
divided by a divisor and the result is a whole number with no remainder, then the number is divisible
by that divisor.
For example, the number 1 280 is divisible by 2 because 1 280 ÷ 2 = 640.
Divisibility rules help in determining if one number is divisible by another number without
having to do actual division.
Let us study the divisibility rules for 2, 5, and 10!
Divisibility Rules for 2
A number that ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are called even numbers.
All numbers that end with even numbers are divisible by 2.
For example, 22 ends in 2 which is an even number.
Check if the last digit number is an even number.
The last digit of 22 is 2, 2 is even number.
Unit 2 Divisibility Rules
Lesson 1 Divisibility Rules for 2, 5, and 10 to Find the Common Factor of Numbers pg. 2
Therefore, 22 is divisible by 2, and 2 is a factor of 22.
11 x 2=22
Factors of 22
Another example, tell whether 650 is divisible by 2
Check if the last digit number is an even number.
The last digit of 650 is 0, and 0 is even number.
Therefore, 650 is divisible by 2, and 2 is a factor of 650.
325 x 2=650
Factors of 650
Last example, tell whether 1 248 is divisible by 2.
Check if the last digit number is an even number.
The last digit of 248 is 8, and 8 is even number.
Therefore, 1 248 is divisible by 2, and 2 is a factor of 1 248.
624 x 2=1 248
Factors of 1 248
Divisibility Rule for 5
All numbers that end in 0 or 5 are divisible by 5.
For example, determine if 10 is divisible by 5.
Check if the last digit number is 0 or 5.
The last digit of 10 is 0.
Therefore, 10 is divisible by 5, and 5 is a factor of 10.
5 x 2=10
Factors of 10
Another example, tell whether 655 is divisible by 5
Check if the last digit number is 0 or 5.
The last digit of 655 is 0.
Therefore, 655 is divisible by 5, and 5 is a factor of 655.
131 x 5=655
Factors of 655

Last example, tell whether 1 240 is divisible by 5.
Check if the last digit number is 0 or 5.
The last digit of 1 240 is 0.
Therefore, 1 240 is divisible by 5, and 5 is a factor of 1 240.
248 x 5=1 240
Factors of 1 240
Divisibility Rule for 10
Numbers that end in 0 are divisible by 10.
For example, determine if 50 is divisible by 10.
Check if the last digit number is 0.
The last digit of 50 is 0.
Therefore, 50 is divisible by 10, and 10 is a factor of 50.
5 x 10=50
Factors of 50
Another example, tell whether 670 is divisible by 10
Check if the last digit number is 0.
The last digit of 670 is 0.
Therefore, 670 is divisible by 10, and 10 is a factor of 670.
67 x 10=670
Factors of 670
Last example, tell whether 1 240 is divisible by 10.
Check if the last digit number is 0.
The last digit of 1 240 is 0.
Therefore, 1 240 is divisible by 10, and 10 is a factor of 1 240.
124 x 10=1 240
Factors of 1 240

LET’S PRACTICE
Example 1
Tell whether 525 is divisible by 5.
Solution:
All numbers that end in 5 are divisible by 5.
Since 525 ends in 5, then it is divisible by 5.
Example 2
Tell whether 750 is divisible by 2, 5, and 10.
Solution:
By 2
650 ends in 0 which is an even number.
Hence, it is divisible by 2.
By 5 and 10
Since 650 ends in 0, it is divisible by 5 and 10.
Example 3
Determine which among 2, 5, and 10 is a common factor of 12 and 40.
Solution:
12 is divisible by 2 but not by 5 and 10.
40 is divisible by 2, 5, and 10.
Therefore, 2 is the only common factor of 12 and 40.
Example 4
Determine which among 2, 5, and 10 is a common factor of 125 and 200.
Solution:
125 is divisible by 5.
200 is divisible by 2, 5, and 10
Therefore, 5 is the only common factor of 125 and 200.
