Answer 4

840:5,2

Answer 5

I sure hope that they still teach the following simple divisibility checks:
- to be divisible by 2, the number must be even
- to be divisible by 3, add up the digits of the number, if
the sum is divisible by 3, so is the number
- to be divisible by 4 , the last two digits must be 00 or the last two digits
must be divisible by 4 , e.g. 840
- to be divisible by 5, the number must end in either 0 or 5
- to be divisible by 8 , the last 3 digits of the number must be divisible by 8
- to be divisible by 9, add up the digits of the number, if
the sum is divisible by 9 , so is the number
- to be divisible by 10, the number must end in 0

I will do the 2,724
it is even, so divisible by 2
sum is 2+7+2+4 = 15 , so divisible by 3
last two digits are divisible by 4 , so divisible by 4
does not end in 0 or 5, so NOT divisible by 5
last 3 digits Not divisible by 8 , so NOT divisible by 8
last digit is not 0 , so NOT divisible by 10

repeat for the other numbers, you could always check with your calculator.
