Basic Mathematics QUESTION #7958
Question 1
Which of the following numbers is divisible by 12?
  • 4653
  • 4818โœ”๏ธ
  • 4501
  • 4404
Correct Answer Explanation
A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4.
  • 4818: Sum of digits \(= 4+8+1+8=21\) (divisible by 3); last two digits 18 (not divisible by 4) โ€” fails.
  • 4818 รท 12 = 401.5 โ€” actually let us recheck: \(4818 \div 4 = 1204.5\) โ€” not exact.
  • 4404: \(4+4+0+4=12\) โœ“; \(04 \div 4 = 1\) โœ“. \(4404 \div 12 = 367\) โœ“
Answer key gives B (4818) but by divisibility rules 4404 is correct. Students should verify directly.
