Step by step
The question
Question: is 945 divisible by 2?
Is 945 divisible by 2?
Divisible means it goes in exactly, with nothing left over.
divisible: no remainder
1 Look at the last digit
= 945
945 is 94 tens and 5.
2 goes into 10, so into every ten.
Only the last digit is left to check.
94 tens + 5
For 2: is it even: 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8?
The last digit is 5.
So no.
= ÷ 2: last digit 0, 2, 4, 6, 8? 5 → no ✗
2 Write the answer
So 945 is not divisible by 2.
= no: 945 ÷ 2 has a remainder
3 Check
Let's check by dividing.
945 divided by 2 is 472, with 1 left over.
945 ÷ 2 = 472 r 1 (not divisible)
The tests were right!
Let's look back.
First: look at the last digit.
Then: write the answer.
Last: check.
Answer
= no: 945 ÷ 2 has a remainder
