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.)

Is 1485 divisible by 2 3 5 6 9 and 10?

To determine if 1485 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, we can check each divisor. 1485 is odd, so it is not divisible by 2. It is divisible by 3 (since the sum of its digits, 1+4+8+5=18, is divisible by 3) and by 5 (it ends in 5). However, since it is not divisible by 2, it cannot be divisible by 6 or 10, and since it is not divisible by 9 (the sum of its digits is not divisible by 9), it is not divisible by that either. Thus, 1485 is only divisible by 3 and 5.
