Divisibility by 5

A number which has either 0 or 5 in its one's place is divisible by 5. 
Examples: consider 175, 125, 205 
Look at the units place.
All these numbers have either 0 or 5 in their one's place, which is divisible by 5.

Example:
Is the number 13356890 divisible by 5?
Check the units digit in the given number
The unit digit is 0, so 13356890 is divisible by 5. 

Explanation for Divisibility by 5:
Consider any number cba can be written as:
... + 100c + 10b + a
Since 10 and 100 are divisible by 10, so are 10b, 100c, ... which in turn, are divisible by 5 because 10 = 2 × 5.
As far as number a is concerned, it must be divisible by 5 if the number is divisible by 5.
So a has to be either 0 or 5.
