False

Noticed that the factors of 10 all ends in 0. (10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100….) Since 455 does not end with 0, then it is not divisible by 10. It can still be divided although there will be a remainder in the final answer.

455/10= 45.5

To check if a number is divisible by a certain number or not, always look first in the units digit, if it is factor of that number, if not then try to solve for the highest digit, if it can be divided by that number, then carry on until you'll find if there is a remainder or not.
