Look at the following digits:
5, 3, 7, 4
Create a number using these digits that results in a whole number when divided by 2.
To solve this problem, we need to apply the rule of divisibility by 2:
We are given the digits: 5, 3, 7, 4.
Among these digits, the only even digit is 4.
Therefore, to form a number that is divisible by 2, 4 must be the last digit.
From the provided multiple-choice options, we will select the number that ends with 4:
Therefore, the correct number is 7534.
7534
Is the number 43 divisible by 4?
The divisibility rule for 2 states that only the units place determines if a number is even. For example, 1234 is even because it ends in 4, while 1235 is odd because it ends in 5.
Any even digit (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) in the last position will work! In this problem, we only have one even digit (4), so it must go at the end.
Yes! Once you place 4 at the end, you can arrange 5, 3, and 7 in any order for the first three positions. All arrangements like 3574, 5374, or 7534 will be even.
Even digits: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (divisible by 2)
Odd digits: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 (not divisible by 2)
In our set {5, 3, 7, 4}, only 4 is even.
The number will be odd and not divisible by 2. For example, 5437 ends in 7 (odd), so 5437 ÷ 2 = 2718.5, which is not a whole number.
