isjaettava

Isjaettava is a Finnish word that translates to "divisible" in English. It is primarily used in a mathematical context to describe a number that can be divided by another number without leaving a remainder. For example, 10 isjaettava by 2, because 10 divided by 2 equals 5 with no remainder. Conversely, 10 is not isjaettava by 3, as the division results in 3 with a remainder of 1.

The concept of isjaettava is fundamental to number theory and plays a crucial role in various mathematical operations and concepts, including prime factorization, finding common divisors, and understanding the properties of integers. The term is frequently encountered in elementary mathematics education in Finland when introducing the basic principles of arithmetic and divisibility rules.

Beyond its strict mathematical definition, "isjaettava" can occasionally be used metaphorically in Finnish to describe something that can be broken down or separated into smaller parts, though this usage is less common and context-dependent. The primary and most widespread meaning of the word remains firmly rooted in its mathematical application.
