INDIVISIBLE BY Meaning and Definition

1. The term "indivisible by" is a mathematical concept used to describe the property of a number or quantity that cannot be evenly divided or divided with a remainder by another number or quantity. When a number is indivisible by another number, it means that it cannot be divided into equal parts without leaving a remainder.

   More specifically, if a number X is indivisible by another number Y, then there is no integer that can be multiplied by Y to get X without leaving a fractional or decimal part. In other words, Y does not divide X evenly.

   This concept is closely related to prime numbers, as a number is considered prime if it is divisible only by 1 and itself, indicating that it is indivisible by any other number. For example, the number 7 is indivisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, but it is divisible by 1 and 7.

   When determining whether a number is indivisible by another number, one usually performs a division operation and checks if the remainder is zero. If the remainder is not zero, it means that the two numbers are not divisible or that the first number is indivisible by the second number.

   Understanding the concept of being indivisible by is fundamental in various mathematical fields such as number theory, algebra, and arithmetic, where it is utilized to analyze properties of numbers and solve problems related to factors, multiples, and divisibility.
