Answer:
No. The number 12 is divisible by both 2 and 4 but is not divisible by 8. Also 20, 28, and all the other numbers = 4(2n+1) for n = 0 to infinity.

Answer:
yes it is very correct
here it happens because 4 and 2 are the factors of 8.
if a number x is divisible with a number y , then x will be also divisible with the factors of y .
for eg , consider 72 .
72 is divisible by 36 .
then 72 is also divisibl by the factors of 36 ===> 2 , 18 , 3 , 12 , 4 , 9 , 6
you can divide if you have any of further doubt
warning : first you should check whether the number is divisible by 8 or not .
in the above answer she hadn't checked that first .
if 12 was divisible by 8 then definitely it will be divisible by 2 and 4.
