28 or 64
Hard to tell since NO number leaves a remainder of 4 when divided by 4.

The number must be 28 or 64. If you divide something by 4, you can't get a remainder of 4, so that must mean that the number is divisible by 4. 2 and 8 are even, and the sum of 2 and 8 is 10.
If the question were to ask you get a remainder of 2, then the answer would be 46 or 82.

Hey there!
If any number is divided by 4, and the remainder is 4, then the remainder is 0. So the number is divisible by 4.
The second clue states that the number has two digits and both are even.
So possible numbers are:
20
24
28
40
44
48
60
64
68
80
84
88
Lastly, the sum of the digits is 10. Out of these, 64 and 28 are the only numbers whose digits add up to 10.
So the answers are 28 and 64.
Hope it helps!

are you sure the first clue is written correctly??? if so, having a remainder of 4 really means that you have no remainder since you are dividing by four.....
and so the numbers with 2 even digits that add up to 10 are
28 and 64

well, there's no equation for this
you just take the second and third clue and do all the posibilities
28
46
64
82
then divide by four and whatever has no remainder( same as having a remainder of four duh)
and 64 divided by four is 16.
so the number is 64.
HOWEVER 28 is also divisible by four, 28/4 equals 7.
So, it could either be 64 or 28.
I bet the teacher will be surprised if they didn't know that there are two possibilities.

1. Are you sure that you get a remainder of 4 and not 2?
46 would fit clue 2 & 3

you got Clue 1 wrong, I tink:
if Div by 4 with Rem 4 = 28 or 64
if Div by 4 with Rem 2 = 46 or 82
if Div by 6 with Rem 4 = 28. 46, 64 or 82
if Div by 8 with Rem 4 = 28

It is impossible, If the number is four you can't have a remainder of four.
