Divisibility by 15
To determine if a number is divisible by 15, we need to check if it is divisible by both 3 and 5 because 15 is the product of these two numbers.
Explanation:
- For a number to be divisible by 3, the sum of its digits must be divisible by 3.
- For a number to be divisible by 5, the last digit must be either 0 or 5.
Analysis of Options:
a) 1025
- The sum of the digits is 1+0+2+5 = 8, which is not divisible by 3.
- The last digit is 5, which means it is divisible by 5.
- Not divisible by 15.
b) 2045
- The sum of the digits is 2+0+4+5 = 11, which is not divisible by 3.
- The last digit is 5, which means it is divisible by 5.
- Not divisible by 15.
c) 2015
- The sum of the digits is 2+0+1+5 = 8, which is not divisible by 3.
- The last digit is 5, which means it is divisible by 5.
- Not divisible by 15.
d) 1440
- The sum of the digits is 1+4+4+0 = 9, which is divisible by 3.
- The last digit is 0, which means it is divisible by 5.
- Divisible by 15.
Therefore, the number 1440 is divisible by 15.
