Change one digit to make the number 5381 divisible by 2 without a remainder.
The number 5381 is currently not divisible by 2 because its last digit is 1, which is odd.
To make a number divisible by 2, we must ensure that its last digit is even. Let's evaluate each multiple-choice option to check if it results in an even number as the last digit:
Reviewing these options reveals that the replacements either do not result in an even number or do not affect the last digit to ensure it is even.
Upon reevaluating, notice that the provided correct answer specified is incorrect based on the final check; since there is no option fully matching a correct even conclusion based on proposed processes, this should ideally merit a potential check against the original setup where better framing or rechecking matches initial expectations.
Replace 8 with 1.
Is the number 43 divisible by 4?
The divisibility rule for 2 states that only the last digit determines if a number is even or odd. Since 5381 ends in 1 (odd), the whole number is odd regardless of other digits.
The even digits are 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Any of these as the last digit will make your number divisible by 2!
Yes! You could change 1 to any even digit: 5380, 5382, 5384, 5386, or 5388. All of these would be divisible by 2.
If you must change a specific position (like the hundreds place), check if any even digit in that position can make the last digit even. Sometimes this requires more creative thinking!
Simply check if the last digit is even, or divide your new number by 2. If you get a whole number with no remainder, it's correct! For example: ✓
