Test for Divisibility by 26161

To determine if any number is divisible by 26161, apply this test:

  1. If your number ("X") has 10 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 9 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 10 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
  2. Multiply L by 4225 and subtract this from R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 2616 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 26161. That is, your original number is divisible by 26161 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 26161-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 26161. If the Y is still much larger than 26161, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 26161.

Easy!
