Best Answer

The meaning of "can be divided by" has lost a bit of its precision, since (with the exception of zero) anything can be divided by anything. Some people use it interchangeably with "divisible," which in mathematics means that there will be no remainder.

Example: 20 can be divided by 8. The answer is 2.5

20 is not divisible by eight since the answer isn't a whole number.

20 can be divided by 10. The answer is 2.

20 is divisible by 10 since there isn't a remainder.
