Question

Which of the following are divisible by both 2 and 3? Choose 2

A. 456
B. 765
C. 1262
D. 1548

Answer 1

A.456 and D.1548 are divisible by 2 and 3 I think

Answer 2

Pick A and D.

Explanation:

So right away, option B is not the answer bc there is an odd number (5) in the ones place, so it's not divisble by 2.

A, C and D are all divisible by 2.

If the sum of the DIGITS add up to a number divisible by 3, then the number itself is divisible by 3.

A. 456 = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15, which is divisible by 3 (15/3 = 5), so YES this option works.

C. 1262 = 1 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 11, and that's not divisible by 3 , so NO, don't pick C.

D. 1548 = 1+ 5 + 4 + 8 = 18 which is divisbile by 3 (18/3 = 6), so YES, pick this option.
