Well, honey, a multiple of 2 ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 because that's just how the cookie crumbles. When you multiply any number by 2, you're basically doubling it, and when you double something, you're bound to get an even number. So, those sassy little endings are just the result of some good old-fashioned multiplication magic.

ProfessorA multiple of 2 is any number that can be evenly divided by 2 without leaving a remainder. When you multiply any number by 2, the result will always have a factor of 2. This means that the last digit of any multiple of 2 will always be even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) because these are the only even digits.

What do multiples of 2 end in?
2, 4, 6, 8 or 0
Why can't a number that ends in 3 be a multiple of 4?
A number that ends in 3 can't be a multiple of 4 because the 4 times table goes in a pattern, (e.g 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24.) If the number ends in either 0 2 4 6 8 then it couldbe a possible multiple of 4. It always ends in an even number. 3 is not an even number so it is not going to be the last number of a multiple of 4.
Is 30 divisible by 2 3 5 9 10?
Yes, 30 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, and 10. To determine if a number is divisible by 2, it must end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. For 3, the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3. For 5, the number must end in 0 or 5. For 10, the number must end in 0. However, 30 is not divisible by 9 because the sum of its digits (3+0) is not a multiple of 9.
Why do multiples of 2 end in a 2 4 6 8?
Multiples of 2 are even numbers. Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. If they didn't end in those numbers, they wouldn't be even numbers or multiples of 2.
How does the divisibility rule for 4 and 8 work?
A number is a multiple of 4 if the last 2 digits are a multiple of 4 The 10s digit is even and the last digit is 0, 4 or 8 The 10s digit is odd and the last digit is 2 or 6 A number is a multiple of 8 if the last 3 digits are a multiple of 8 The 100s digit is even and the last 2 digits are a multiple of 8 The 100s digit is odd and the last 2 digits are 4 times an odd number
