42 is divisible by which of the following numbers?
A)14
B)8
C)5
D)9
Oh, puhleeze.
Try dividing 42 by each of them and see what you get. If you get an integer answer, then 42 is evenly divisible by that divisor.
Hint: 42/14 = 3
Well, let's break it down and have a laugh, shall we?
A) 14: Sure, 42 can be divided by 14 because 4 + 2 equals 6, and 6 is divisible by 2! So yes, 14 is a factor of 42.
B) 8: Nope, 42 is not divisible by 8. 8 is jealous of 42 and wishes it could be evenly divided into it, but it's not meant to be. Sorry, 8!
C) 5: Nope, 42 is not divisible by 5. 5 looks at 42 from a distance, admiring its curves and overall attractiveness, but they're just not meant to be divided together. Maybe in another universe!
D) 9: Nope, 42 is not divisible by 9. 9 tries to woo 42 with its perfect square properties, but 42 just isn't interested. It's not you, 9, it's just not a match.
So, the answer is A) 14. It's the only one that can hold hands with 42 and dance the division dance successfully. Keep on grooving, 14!
To determine if a number is divisible by another number, we need to check if the dividend can be evenly divided by the divisor without leaving a remainder. Let's check each of the options:
A) 42 divided by 14
42 ÷ 14 = 3
Since 3 is an integer, 42 is divisible by 14.
B) 42 divided by 8
42 ÷ 8 = 5.25
Since 5.25 is not an integer, 42 is not divisible by 8.
C) 42 divided by 5
42 ÷ 5 = 8.4
Since 8.4 is not an integer, 42 is not divisible by 5.
D) 42 divided by 9
42 ÷ 9 = 4.67
Since 4.67 is not an integer, 42 is not divisible by 9.
Therefore, 42 is divisible by (A) 14 but not by (B) 8, (C) 5, or (D) 9.
To determine whether 42 is divisible by a given number, you can use the divisibility rules.
Let's check the divisibility of 42 by each of the given numbers:
A) 14: To check if 42 is divisible by 14, we need to see if it can be divided evenly by 14 without any remainder. We can do this by dividing 42 by 14. If the division results in a whole number, then 42 is divisible by 14. Let's calculate: 42 ÷ 14 = 3. Since the division result is a whole number (3), 42 is divisible by 14.
B) 8: To check if 42 is divisible by 8, we need to see if it can be divided evenly by 8 without any remainder. We can do this by dividing 42 by 8. Let's calculate: 42 ÷ 8 = 5.25. Since the division result is not a whole number, 42 is not divisible by 8.
C) 5: To check if 42 is divisible by 5, we need to see if it can be divided evenly by 5 without any remainder. We can do this by dividing 42 by 5. Let's calculate: 42 ÷ 5 = 8.4. Since the division result is not a whole number, 42 is not divisible by 5.
D) 9: To check if 42 is divisible by 9, we need to see if it can be divided evenly by 9 without any remainder. We can do this by dividing 42 by 9. Let's calculate: 42 ÷ 9 = 4.66667. Since the division result is not a whole number, 42 is not divisible by 9.
So, 42 is only divisible by 14, as mentioned in option A).
