Math Problem Statement

A number is divisible by 8 if its last three digits is divisible by 8. Which of the following numbers is divisible by 8? choices: a. 9208 b. 6236 c.88254 d. 8886

Solution

To determine which number is divisible by 8, we need to check if the last three digits of each number are divisible by 8. Let's go through each option:

  • a. 9208: The last three digits are 208.
    208÷8=26208 \div 8 = 26 (no remainder)
    So, 9208 is divisible by 8.

  • b. 6236: The last three digits are 236.
    236÷8=29.5236 \div 8 = 29.5 (remainder)
    So, 6236 is not divisible by 8.

  • c. 88254: The last three digits are 254.
    254÷8=31.75254 \div 8 = 31.75 (remainder)
    So, 88254 is not divisible by 8.

  • d. 8886: The last three digits are 886.
    886÷8=110.75886 \div 8 = 110.75 (remainder)
    So, 8886 is not divisible by 8.

Therefore, the only number divisible by 8 is 9208.

Would you like more details or have any further questions? Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. Why does a number need to have its last three digits divisible by 8 to be divisible by 8?
  2. What is the divisibility rule for 4, and how is it related to the divisibility rule for 8?
  3. How can we determine if a large number is divisible by other divisors like 9 or 11?
  4. Can the divisibility rules for numbers like 3 and 6 also be applied to large numbers in a similar way?
  5. What are the other divisibility rules for numbers between 1 and 12?

Tip: Remember that for divisibility by 8, it's sufficient to check the last three digits of the number.
