The teacher asked if 14560 is divisible by all of 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10. Guna checked for divisibility by only two of these numbers and declared it was divisible by all. What could those two numbers be?

  • -4

The two numbers are 8 and 5. Divisibility by 8 confirms divisibility by 2 and 4. Divisibility by 5 ensures divisibility by 10. Hence, checking these two guarantees divisibility by all.

  1. Guna tested divisibility for 8 and 5 to conclude that 14560 is divisible by 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10. Divisibility by 8 ensures the number is divisible by 2 and 4, as 8 encompasses their factors. Similarly, divisibility by 5 guarantees divisibility by 10, since 10 = 2 × 5. These two tests are sufficient to confirm that the number is divisible by all five conditions without additional checks.
