The Divisiblity by 2 rule states that if a number is even (ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8), it is divisible by 2. A number is not divisible by 2 if it is an odd number (ends in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
Examples: Follows the Rule[]
200: Ends in 0 (even). Divisible by 2
202: Ends in 2 (even). Divisible by 2
234: Ends in 4 (even). Divisible by 2
226: Ends in 6 (even). Divisible by 2
218: Ends in 8 (even). Divisible by 2
Examples: Does Not Follow the Rule[]
101: Ends in 1 (odd). Not divisible by 2
303: Ends in 3 (odd). Not divisible by 2
555: Ends in 5 (odd). Not divisible by 2
737: Ends in 7 (odd). Not divisible by 2
999: Ends in 9 (odd). Not divisible by 2
