Divisible


Meaning

Divisible, Separable

Word Type

noun

Explanation

When it's possible to separate something, it's divisible. Just imagine separating things into parts. It's possible. So, if that's possible, it's divisible. Now think of something that's nothing (i.e. "no candy bars"). That is not possible to separate into parts. That is not divisible.
