Can 5 go into 6

This is a way to ask a question about division. The question is often interpreted to mean two different things:

1. Is 5 greater or equal to 6 so that the quotient (answer) is 1 or greater? Put another way, "Is 5 greater than or equal to 6. With this interpretation, the answer is no, since 5 is less than 6. Note however, that we can divide 6 into 5 and get the fraction 5/6 as an answer. For a problem such as "can 5 go into 6" the answer would be "yes" (using this interpretation).

2. The second interpretation: Is there a remainder of 0 when the division takes place? Sometimes this is phrased as, "can 7 go into 13 evenly?" or "can 7 go into 13 an even number of times?" For example, if the question were "Can 7 go into 13?" the answer would be no. This is because 7 goes into 13 once with a remainder of 6. If the question were "Can 7 go into 14?" the answer would be yes, because 7 goes into 14 two times with a remainder of 0.

Note: the phrase "can go into a number evenly" is also sometimes confused with the different question, "Is the number of times 9 goes into 27 an even number?" (The answer is no because the quotient is 3.)
