Real-Life Application

Imagine you have 8 chocolates to share with your friend.

  • If you share equally, each gets 4 chocolates (8 ÷ 2 = 4).

  • Nothing is left over, so 8 is divisible by 2.

Now suppose you have 9 chocolates:

  • Each gets 4, but 1 is left out—so 9 is not divisible by 2.

CISCE: Class 6

Key Points Summary

  • Check the last digit.

  • If the last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 → divisible by 2 (even number).

  • If the last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 → NOT divisible by 2 (odd number).
