Divisibility

Divisibility is the ability of a number to be evenly divided by another number. For example, four divided by two is equal to two, and therefore, four is divisible by two.

Notation

We commonly write $n|k$. This means that n is a divisor of k. So for the example above, we would write 2|4.
