Q: If a number is divisible by 7, which of the following is NOT necessarily true?
Solution: A number can be divisible by 7 and still be even, such as 14.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand what it means for a number to be divisible by 7. This means that when you divide the number by 7, there is no remainder.
Step 2: Identify examples of numbers that are divisible by 7. For instance, 7, 14, 21, and 28 are all divisible by 7.
Step 3: Check if a number divisible by 7 can be even. An even number is any number that can be divided by 2 without a remainder.
Step 4: Look at the example of 14. It is divisible by 7 (14 ÷ 7 = 2) and it is also even (14 ÷ 2 = 7).
Step 5: Conclude that just because a number is divisible by 7, it does not mean it cannot be even. Therefore, it is NOT necessarily true that a number divisible by 7 must be odd.
