Usage Notes:

"Делимый" directly corresponds to the English "divisible" in mathematical contexts, but English speakers should note that Russian adjectives must agree in gender, number, and case with the noun they modify. For example, use "делимый" for masculine singular nouns, but "делимая" for feminine. It's primarily formal and technical, so avoid it in casual conversation. When choosing between translations like "делимый" and "разделимый," opt for "делимый" in pure math contexts for accuracy.

Common Errors:

• Error: Using "делимый" without proper declension, e.g., saying "Это делимый число" instead of "Это делимое число" (for neuter nouns).

  Correct: "Это делимое число." Explanation: Russian adjectives must match the noun's gender; "число" is neuter, so use the neuter form.

• Error: Confusing it with "деленный" (divided), e.g., thinking "делимый" means "already divided."

  Correct: Use "делимый" for potential divisibility, not "деленный" which implies action has occurred. Explanation: This mix-up can lead to logical errors in sentences.
