Test for Divisibility by 27803

To determine if any number is divisible by 27803, 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 908 and subtract this from R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and add 8341 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 27803. That is, your original number is divisible by 27803 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 27803-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 27803. If the Y is still much larger than 27803, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 27803.

Easy!
