In number theory, divisibility refers to a numbers "ability" be divided into smaller whole numbers.

For instance, 10 is divisible by both 2 and 5. 10/2 gives the whole number 5. But 10 is not divisible by 3, because dividing 10 by 3 would give you a remainder in addition to a whole number (3 in this case).

The definition of a Prime number uses divisibility in it's formulation: "A prime number p is a number which is not divisible by any number other than 1 and p itself"
The divisibility rule is a method that can be used to see if a number is evenly divisible by other numbers. It is a shortcut to determine the number's factors without having to do division.

It is actually spelled "divisible", and divisible means mathematically that a number can be divided by another number evenly. For example, 14 divided by 2. That can be divided evenly, it is divisible (your answer would be 7).

Division is the other way of multiplication, Example: 33x 5= 165 divided by 33= 5
To divide into into equal parts
The division problem, 538 divided by 8 is going to be 67.25.
Division is taking a number and splitting it in to groups! Here: 44 divided by 11 is 11 groups of 4! Its that easy! But, dividing with a remainder is a bit harder! Here: 45 divided by 11 is 11 groups of 4 with a remainder of 1.
