👉 When is a Number Divisible by 2? 🏆
There are times when these divisibility rules can be helpful in simplifying numbers and prime factorization, and times when these rules can be helpful in determining whether a number is a multiple of another number. A number is divisible by 2 if the ones digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 – that is, if the units digit is even. For example, 30, 42, 54, 66, and 78 are divisible by 2.

Hi
We have been seeing regular short video tips from you, and generally these 7-8 and may be others too are regularly following it up. But posting it randomly would not be helpful as compared to posting them on a single thread. Two advantages, firstly does not clutter forum and, secondly, all your advices are at one place for easy access.
Specific, to this advice, ‘ A number is divisible by 2 if the ones digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 – that is, if the units digit is even.’, it is the other way. The entire number properties stand on the premise that integers are even when they are divisible by 2. So, surely even integers would be divisible by 2, because they are even for that reason. 7-8 kudos on this aspect shows that basics are not clear to few and they would require a lot of effort on quant. Advice to such beginners is go through the number properties thread by Bunuel and others.There are threads talking of divisibility not only by 2 but also by integers up to 12 and more.
bb, just a suggestion. Good efforts by institutes on webinars, but issue is the hype we create by writing ‘Learn to solve 700 level questions under 60 seconds.’ Aren’t these misleading, as we have better and more number of solutions on the thread itself and no way the webinars are serving that purpose. The webinar should be named as per the content being discussed.

Thanks chetan2u for the suggestion.
There is definitely commendable effort in producing these videos and I do think there is value in putting these together into a single topic like we have done with a collection of all of the GMAT Ninja videos and Ron's videos (when they were available) to keep things organized and all topics together. Perhaps topical videos would make sense because I noticed that these tips are some of the least viewed ones on the forum. 86 views for one and 52 for another and so it would be more valuable to have them posted together in a powerful single topic as opposed to one off. I will go ahead and merge some of them to give some life to the short videos and hopefully they will be appreciated more... though I would say divisibility by 2 is perhaps a niche video - you have a long way to go if this is news to you
