What do you think?

When x is divided by 5 the remainder is 2 simply means that x is not divisible by 5, so it cannot be divisible by 10 either. Therefore x/10 is not an integer.

Hope it's clear.

Hope it's clear.

When a certain integer x is divided by 5 the remainder is 2 can be expressed as $$x=5q+2$$. Thus x can be 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, ...

If x=17, then x/17=integer.
If x=22, then x/11=integer.
If x=12, then x/6=integer and x/3=integer.

Hope it's clear.
