Divisibility Rule for 2: If the number's last digit ends in an even number, then it can be divided by 2.

Example: 36 can be divided by 2 because the digit in the ones place (6) is an even number.
27 on the other hand, cannot be divided by 2 because the digit in the ones place (7) is an odd number.

Think and Answer: Is 127 350 divisible by 2?


Mathematics Glossary: Even number: a number that ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
