Test for Divisibility by 18769

To determine if any number is divisible by 18769, apply this test:

  1. If your number ("X") has 9 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 8 digits from the rest. This makes two smaller numbers, call them Left and Right (note: don't add in trailing zeros to L). If there are fewer than 9 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
  2. Multiply L by 1232 and subtract this from R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and add 1877 times the digit you just crossed off. Call this final result "Y".
  4. Y will be much smaller than X, but we have preserved divisibility by 18769. That is, your original number is divisible by 18769 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 18769-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 18769. If the Y is still much larger than 18769, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 18769.

Easy!
