When we say that a number is divisible by five , we mean that :

1.The number when divided by five has a quotient in whole number , and

2.No remainder if left after the division.

Since 2 divided by five results in the quotient as 0.4 (which is not a whole number), we say that 2 is not divisible by five . (Even though the remainder becomes zero , if we carry on the division after putting the decimal sign in the quotient.)

No, it would have to be an even number...but 5 divided by two is 2 and 1/2. No.
