Because 8 is divisible by 4. So of course if 8 goes into a number, 4 will too. The number 24 for example. 8 * 3 = 24 and 4 * 6 = 24. 4 is half of 8. So 4 can go into anything 8 can, but twice as many times.

Every other number: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40... No, a number can be divisible by 4 but not divisible by 8; an example is 12.


Is it true that a number is divisible by 8 if it divisible by 4 and divisible by 2?

Being divisible by 4, means that it will also be divisible by 2, so that doesn't tell you anything about divisibility by 8. But if you divide the number by 2, and this quotient is divisible by 4, then yes the original number is divisible by 8.


Any number that is divisible by 4 is also divisible by 8 find a counterexample to show the conjecture is false?

4 divides 4 (once), but 4 is not divisible by 8. ■

Is 211032 divisible by 4?

Yes. To check if a number is divisible by 4, if the last 2 digits (as a number) are divisible by 4, so is the original number. 32 = 4 x 8 so as 32 is divisible by 4, so is 211032. An alternative test for 4: add the last digit to twice the preceding digit, and if this sum is divisible by 4 so is the original number. This can be repeated until a single digit remains which must be 4 or 8 (to be divisible by 4) if the original number is divisible by 4. for 211032: 2 + 3x2 = 8 → [single digit 8 which] is divisible by 4, so 211032 is also divisible by 4.
