Answer 1

yes dear 162 is divisible by 2

Answer 2

Hi. Yes 162 is divisible by 2.

This is because it is a multiple of 2.

Multiple is a number which is divisible by that number. Divisibility means that the number can divide the dividend completely. For eg:- 4 is a multiple of 2, ie, 4 is divisible by 2 because 4/2 = 2 and r = 0. Similarly, 162 is a multiple of 2 and 162/2 = 81 and r = 0. To check whether a no. is divisible by 2 or not, check the last digit of the no. If it is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, then it is divisible by 2. In short, all even numbers are a multiple of 2.

Hope it helps!
