What is Divisibility in Math?

Divisibility is a property of numbers that allows them to be divided by another number without leaving a remainder. For example, 12 is divisible by 3 because 12 / 3 = 4 with no remainder. Similarly, 15 is not divisible by 3 because 15 / 3 = 5 with a remainder of 1.

In general, a number is divisible by another number if the result of dividing the two numbers is a whole number (with no remainder). For example, 24 is divisible by 6 because 24 / 6 = 4 with no remainder.

Here are some examples of divisibility:

* 12 is divisible by 3 and 4
* 15 is not divisible by 3 or 4
* 24 is divisible by 6 and 8
* 30 is divisible by 5 and 6

Note that divisibility is a property of numbers, not a mathematical operation. You cannot "divide" two numbers to determine if one is divisible by the other. Instead, you must use the definition of divisibility (i.e., whether the result of dividing the two numbers is a whole number) to determine if one number is divisible by another.
