Rearrange the following digits to that they form a number divisible by 4:
4, 2, 3 , and 1.
To solve this problem, we will apply the divisibility rule for 4:
A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4. Therefore, we need to consider pairs from the digits and that can form numbers divisible by 4. Let's list them:
From the list above, the only pair that forms a number divisible by 4 is . By setting the last two digits as , we use the remaining digits and as the preceding two digits to form the complete number.
Possible numbers using this order include , where is any combination of the remaining .
Let's attempt to form a number:
Arrange : and , yielding 3124.
Verify if it matches our condition as laid in the answer choices.
Looking through our options, only fits a number divisible by 4.
Thus, the number 3124 fulfills the condition of divisibility by 4.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
3124
Is the number 43 divisible by 4?
This works because 100 is divisible by 4! Since any number can be written as (hundreds × 100) + (last two digits), and 100÷4=25, only the last two digits affect divisibility by 4.
No way! Start by finding which two-digit combinations from your digits are divisible by 4. Then arrange the remaining digits in front of those pairs.
Great! That means you have multiple correct answers. In this problem, both 24 and 32 work, giving us options like 1324, 1432, 3124, etc.
Then it's impossible to create a number divisible by 4 with those digits! But double-check your work - you might have missed a valid pair or made a calculation error.
