Test for Divisibility by 27437

To determine if any number is divisible by 27437, 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 3661 and add to R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 8231 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 27437. That is, your original number is divisible by 27437 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 27437-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 27437. If the Y is still much larger than 27437, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 27437.

Easy!
