  1. divisible

    Divisible refers to a mathematical concept where one number can be evenly divided by another without leaving a remainder. In other words, if "a" is divisible by "b", division of "a" by "b" will result in an integer. For example, 10 is divisible by 2, as 10 divided by 2 equals 5, which is an integer. But, 10 is not divisible by 3, because 10 divided by 3 equals 3.33, which is not an integer.
