There are 50 numbers between 1 and 100 that are divisible by 2.
Understanding Divisibility by 2
A number is divisible by 2 if it's an even number. This means the number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. To find how many even numbers are between 1 and 100 (inclusive), we can simply divide 100 by 2.
- Calculation: 100 / 2 = 50
Therefore, there are 50 even numbers between 1 and 100. These numbers are 2, 4, 6, ..., 98, 100.
Confirmation from Multiple Sources
Several sources confirm this answer:
- Multiple Quora and online forum discussions (Quora, Beat The GMAT Forum) explicitly state that there are 50 numbers divisible by 2 between 1 and 100. Note that some discussions also consider numbers divisible by both 2 and another number (e.g., 2 and 3), but the core answer regarding divisibility by 2 remains consistent.
- Brainly (brainly.in, brainly.com) also independently arrive at the same conclusion.
This consistent finding across various sources strengthens the accuracy of our answer.
