Which number is not divisible by either of the numbers 3 and 5? A. 5000 B. 2374 C. 1203 D. 2505
try dividing each number but 3 and 5 and which one that doesnt divide down with out a deciamal is your answer
A, B
From Mathematica: {5000, 2374, 1203, 2505} // FactorInteger {{{2, 3}, {5, 4}}, {{2, 1}, {1187, 1}}, {{3, 1}, {401, 1}}, {{3, 1}, {5, 1}, {167, 1}}} {a,b} is a^b
B. is not divisible by either 3 or 5.
The answer is B. Here is a helpful tip-trick: To figure out if a number is divisible by 3, you can add the numbers and see if the total is number is a factor of 3. Example: Can 2436 be divided by 3 with no remainders? 2 + 4 + 3 + 6 = 15 15 is a factor of 3; 5 x 3 = 15 So if you divide 2436 by 3 your answer will be 812; a whole number. I'm sure you already know that any number divisible by 5 either ends in a 5 or a 0. Always. Try solving your problem using the tip-trick I showed you.
