Dividing by 2, 4 or 8 (Interactive)

The document discusses divisibility rules for determining if a number is divisible by 2, 4, or 8 based on its digits. A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is even. A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are a multiple of 4. A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits are a multiple of 8. Several examples are provided to illustrate each rule.

Divisibility Rules – Dividing by 2, 4 or 8

A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is divisible by 2 (an even number). For example,
578 is divisible by 2 because the last digit is 8 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4.

A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are a multiple of 4. For example, 312 is
divisible by 4 because the last two digits are 12 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3. You can check this by halving
the number twice to see if you get a whole number answer. For example, half of 12 is 6 and
half of 6 is 3.

A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits are a multiple of 8. For example, 3248 is
divisible by 8 because the last three digits are 248 and 248 ÷ 8 = 31. You can check this by
halving the number three times to see if you get a whole number. For example, half of 248 is
124; half of 124 is 62 and half of 62 is 31.

5. Find all the multiples of 4 between 100 and 150.

6. Find all the multiples of 8 between 1000 and 1050.

7. Write the largest three-digit number that satisfies these conditions:


• Your number must be a multiple of 4.
• Your number must include a 7 and a 3.

8. Write the largest three-digit number that satisfies these conditions:


• Your number must be a multiple of 2.
• Your number must not be a multiple of 8.
• Your number must include a 5.

9. Write the largest three-digit number that satisfies these conditions:


• Your number must be a multiple of 4.
• Your number must not be a multiple of 8.
• Your number must include a 0.

10. Write the largest three-digit number that satisfies these conditions:
• Your number must be a multiple of 8.
• Your number must include an 8.

Challenge

2. Given that A is a multiple of 8, explain why:
a. A + 214 is a multiple of 2 but not 4.

b. A + 324 is a multiple of 4 but not 8.

3. Any number can be written as:


• a multiple of 10 + the last digit
For example, 235 = 23 × 10 + 5.
Use this to explain why any multiple of 2 ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.

4. Any number can be written as:


• a multiple of 100 + the last two digits
For example, 1537 = 15 × 100 + 37.
Use this to explain why a number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are a multiple of
4.
