Definition of Divisible


A number \(p\) is divisible by a number \(q\) if \(q\) goes into \(p\) an even number of times, without anything left over.

For example, \(18\) is divisible by \(3\) because \(18 \div 3 = 6\), with no remainder.

For example, \(18\) is not divisible by \(4\) because \(18 \div 4 = 4\), with a remainder of \(2\).
