There are 49 numbers less than 100 that are divisible by 2.
To determine this, we can recognize that we are looking for even numbers between 1 and 99, inclusive.
- The first even number is 2.
- The last even number less than 100 is 98.
We can find the number of even numbers by dividing the last even number by 2: 98 / 2 = 49.
This is because every second number is divisible by 2.
Alternatively, we can use the information from the provided reference: "Hence 50 is the number of numbers divisible by 2 from 1 to 100". Since the question asks for numbers less than 100, we need to subtract 1 (because 100 is divisible by 2). Therefore, 50 - 1 = 49.
