Today, we’re going to learn about numbers that can be divided by five. Imagine we have a bunch of dolls, and we want to put them into boxes. Each box can hold exactly five dolls. To see if we can do this without any dolls left over, we use something called the divisibility rule of five.
The divisibility rule of five is super simple! To find out if a number can be divided by five, just look at the last digit of the number. If the last digit is a five or a zero, then the number is divisible by five. This means you can divide it into groups of five without any leftovers.
Imagine we have 875 dolls. We want to put them into boxes with five dolls in each box. To check if this works, we look at the last digit of 875, which is five. Since it ends in five, we know we can divide 875 by five perfectly, with no dolls left over!
This works because of the multiplication table of five. If you look at the results of multiplying five by any number, you’ll see that the answers always end in either five or zero. That’s why our rule works!
We’ve learned a lot about the divisibility rule of five today! There are many more fun and educational videos out there. Imagine all the things you can learn! Check out the Smile and Learn educational channel to keep learning and having fun at the same time!
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your house or classroom. Look for numbers on clocks, books, or even in your parents’ phone numbers. Write down any numbers you find and check if they are divisible by five using the divisibility rule. Remember, if the number ends in a zero or five, it can be divided by five!
Divisibility Detective: Gather a collection of small objects like buttons, coins, or blocks. Count them and see if you can group them into sets of five without any leftovers. Try different numbers of objects and predict whether they will divide evenly by five before you start grouping. Were your predictions correct?
Story Time with Numbers: Create a short story or comic strip about a character who loves organizing things in groups of five. Maybe they have a collection of toys, candies, or stickers. Draw pictures to show how they use the divisibility rule of five to organize their collection perfectly. Share your story with a friend or family member!

Welcome to Smile and Learn! Today, we’re exploring numbers divisible by five. We have dolls, and in this case, we can keep five in each box. To find out if we can divide them into boxes of five, we use the divisibility rule of five.
To determine if a whole number is divisible by five, we only need to look at the last digit. It’s super easy! Every number that ends in five or zero is divisible by five.
For example, we have 875 dolls. If we store them in groups of five, there will be none left over. Why is that? Think of the multiplication table of five. If we look at the last digits, we can see that all the results end in either five or zero, just like our divisibility rule of five.
