Is 2 a multiple of 5?

When you are asking the question "Is 2 a multiple of 5?", you want to know if 2 is one of the multiples of 5. Thus, to find the answer, we can look at all the multiples of 5 and see if one of them is 2. However, instead of making a long list of multiples, we will explain a fast and easy way to get the answer.

First, note that if we were to create a list of multiples of 5, we first multiply 5 by 1, then we multiply 5 by 2, then multiply 5 by 3, and so on indefinitely. In other words, 5 multiplied by any whole number is a multiple of 5. On the flip side, this means that any multiple of 5 divided by 5 will equal a whole number.

Therefore, you can check if 2 is a multiple of 5 by simply dividing 2 by 5. If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 is a multiple of 5.

2 divided by 5 is 0.4. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number, therefore, 2 is not a multiple of 5.
