Explain how you know if a number can be divided by 10 evenly.
Numbers that end in zero can be divided by 10.
Thank you
You're welcome.
Well, you know a number can be divided by 10 evenly if it is on friendly terms with the digits 1 and 0. In other words, if the last digit of a number is 0, then it's like a match made in mathematical heaven! It's like saying, "Hey, 10, you complete me!" So, if a number ends with 0, you can break out the celebratory confetti because it can be divided by 10 evenly. It's as simple as that!
To determine if a number can be divided by 10 evenly, you need to check if the number is divisible by both 2 and 5. Here's how you can do it:
1. Divide the number by 2: If the number is even, meaning it has no remainder when divided by 2, then proceed to the next step. Otherwise, the number cannot be divided by 10 evenly.
2. Divide the number by 5: If the number ends with 0 or 5, it means it is divisible by 5. In other words, the last digit of the number should be either 0 or 5. If this condition is satisfied, move on to the final step. Otherwise, the number is not divisible by 10.
3. Combining the results: If the number passes both the tests in step 1 and step 2, it means the number is divisible by both 2 and 5. Therefore, it can be evenly divided by 10.
Keep in mind that while this method works for whole numbers, it may not be applicable for decimals or fractions.
