Check Divisibility: Is 15 Evenly Divisible by 2?

To determine if the number 15 is divisible by 2, we will apply the rule for divisibility by 2:

• A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

Now, let's follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the last digit of the number 15. The last digit is 5.

Step 2: Compare this digit with the criteria for divisibility by 2. The digit 5 is not in the set of digits {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}.

Since the last digit of 15 is not one of the digits that makes a number divisible by 2, 15 is not divisible by 2.

Therefore, the conclusion is clear: the number 15 is not divisible by 2.
