Test for Divisibility by 24649

To determine if any number is divisible by 24649, apply this test:

  1. If your number ("X") has 11 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 10 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 11 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
  2. Multiply L by 704 and subtract this from R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and add 2465 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 24649. That is, your original number is divisible by 24649 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 24649-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 24649. If the Y is still much larger than 24649, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 24649.

Easy!
