Divisibility by 2

A number is divisible by 2 if it has any of the digits 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 in its ones place.
For example, 2972.
Consider the one-place digit, i.e., 2.  When we divide 2 by 2, we get 0 as a remainder.  If the one-place digit is divisible by 2, then the number 2972 is also divisible by 2.

Explanation for Divisibility by 2:
Consider any number cba can be written as 
100c + 10b + a
The first two terms, namely 100c and 10b, are divisible by 2 because 100 and 10 are divisible by 2.
So far as a is concerned, it must be divisible by 2 if the given number is divisible by 2.
This is possible only when a = 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
