Have a look at these timesavers.
A number is even when it can be divided by two without a remainder.
2 divided by 2 is 1.
10 divided by 2 is 5.
All even numbers can be divided by 2.
To find out if a number is in the 2 × table, look at the digit at the end.
If a number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 it is even and is a multiple of 2.
1,357,318 is a multiple of 2 because the digit at the end is 8.
Multiplying a number by 2 is the same as doubling it.
Double 6 is the same as 6 × 2, which equals 12.
Dividing a number by 2 is the same as halving it.
Half of 10 is the same as 10 ÷ 2 which equals 5.
