Test the divisibility of each of the following numbers by 8:

(i) 134

(ii) 618

(iii) 3928

(iv) 50176

(v) 39392

(vi) 56794

(vii) 86102

(viii) 66666

(ix) 99918

(x) 77736

Solution:

A given number is divisible by 4 only when the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4.

(i) 134
The last two digits of 134 are '34' which is not divisible by 4. Hence, 134 is not divisible by 4.

(ii) 618
The last two digits of 618 are '18' which is not divisible by 4. Hence, 618 is not divisible by 4.

(iii) 3928
The last two digits of 3928 are '28' which is divisible by 4. Hence, 3928 is divisible by 4.

(iv) 50176
The last two digits of 50176 are '76' which is divisible by 4. Hence, 50176 is divisible by 4.

(v) 39392
The last two digits of 39392 are '92' which is divisible by 4. Hence, 39392 is divisible by 4.

(vi) 56794
The last two digits of 56794 are '94' which is not divisible by 4. Hence, 56794 is not divisible by 4.

(vii) 86102
The last two digits of 86102 are '02' which is not divisible by 4. Hence, 86102 is not divisible by 4.

(viii) 66666
The last two digits of 66666 are '66' which is not divisible by 4. Hence, 66666 is not divisible by 4.

(ix) 99918
The last two digits of 99918 are '18' which is not divisible by 4. Hence, 99918 is not divisible by 4.

(x) 77736
The last two digits of 77736 are '36' which is divisible by 4. Hence, 77736 is divisible by 4.
