Question. 199

Using divisibility tests, determine which of the following are divisible by 4: (a) 4096 (b) 21084 (c) 31795012

Answer:

All three: (a), (b) and (c)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Rule for 4: A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4.

  1. (a) 4096

    Look at the last two digits: \(96\).

    Check: \(96 \div 4 = 24\).

    Since \(24\) is a whole number, \(96\) is divisible by 4.

    Therefore, \(4096\) is divisible by 4.

  2. (b) 21084

    Look at the last two digits: \(84\).

    Check: \(84 \div 4 = 21\).

    Since \(21\) is a whole number, \(84\) is divisible by 4.

    Therefore, \(21084\) is divisible by 4.

  3. (c) 31795012

    Look at the last two digits: \(12\).

    Check: \(12 \div 4 = 3\).

    Since \(3\) is a whole number, \(12\) is divisible by 4.

    Therefore, \(31795012\) is divisible by 4.

Conclusion: All three numbers are divisible by 4.
