Test for Divisibility by 27737

To determine if any number is divisible by 27737, apply this test:

  1. If your number ("X") has 7 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 6 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 7 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
  2. Multiply L by 1468 and add to R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 8321 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 27737. That is, your original number is divisible by 27737 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 27737-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 27737. If the Y is still much larger than 27737, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 27737.

Easy!
