How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 4?

Published in Number Theory 1 min read

There are 22 two-digit numbers divisible by 4.

The smallest two-digit number divisible by 4 is 12, and the largest is 96. We can list these numbers as an arithmetic sequence: 12, 16, 20, 24, ..., 96.

We can calculate the number of terms in this sequence using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence: tn = a + (n - 1)d, where tn is the nth term, a is the first term, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference.

  • tn (last term) = 96
  • a (first term) = 12
  • d (common difference) = 4

Using the formula:

96 = 12 + (n - 1) * 4
96 = 12 + 4n - 4
96 = 8 + 4n
88 = 4n
n = 22

Therefore, there are 22 two-digit numbers divisible by 4.
