Because that is the definition of an even number - one that is divisible by 2, that is, one that has 2 as a factor.

All even numbers can be divided equally by 2. That is, when divided by 2, any even number will result in a whole number, exactly 1/2 of the original number. That number, when multiplied by 2 will always result in the original even number. This does not hold true for odd numbers.

Do all numbers that have 13 as a factor also have 5 as a factor?

Not AllTo find out if all numbers that have 5 as a factor have 2 as a factor, you can list the multiples of each. 5's multiples are 5, 10, 15, 20...2's multiples are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20...5 and 15 are multiples of 5, but not 2, so all numbers that have 5 as a factor DO NOT have 2 as a factor.It is not really necessary to write that all out because the fact that 5 is an odd number and 2 is only a factor of even numbers indicates that all numbers that have 5 as a factor would not have 2 as a factor. Only the multiples of 5 that are even have 2 as a factor also.
