Definition of divisible

divisibleadjective

/dɪˈvɪzəbl//dɪˈvɪzəbl/

The word "divisible" has its roots in Latin. The Latin word "dividere" means "to divide" or "to separate". From this, the Latin word "dividibilis" was derived, which means "able to be divided" or "divisible". The Latin word "dividibilis" was later adopted into Middle English as "divisible", with the same meaning. The word initially referred to something that could be divided into parts or fractions, but over time its meaning expanded to include the ability to be exactly divided by a non-zero integer, resulting in a whole number quotient. Today, the word "divisible" is used in mathematics to describe a number that can be divided by another number without leaving a remainder.
