Divisor 27617

To determine if any number is divisible by 27617, 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 L^eft and R^ight (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 1157 and subtract this from R.
3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 8285 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 27617. That is, your original number is divisible by 27617 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 27617-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 27617. If the Y is still much larger than 27617, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 27617.

Easy!
