All odd numbers are divisible by 2.

You just get a decimal in the quotient.

That’s not what divisible means

It is, just not in mathematics.

what non-mathematical meaning are we talking about here?

Divisible in maths leaves no remainder or is only whole numbers. In the real world everything is divisible by 2 as it doesn’t have the caveat of whole numbers.

Yeah but I’ve never heard anyone use the word “divisible” in a non mathematical context. It’s fundamentally about numbers. You’d never say “three is divisible by two” apart from about maths. You’d never say “this cake is divisible by two”, which is already not the context you were talking in, you’d say “you can cut this cake in half”.
