Divisibility Rules for 2, 5, and 10 | Handy Tricks & Shortcuts
In this lesson, we explored the divisibility rules for the numbers 2, 5, and 10, which can be determined by examining the last digit of a number. A number is divisible by 2 if it ends in an even digit (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8), by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5, and by 10 if it ends in 0. These simple tricks make it easy to quickly assess divisibility without performing full division calculations.
