Divisor 28277

To determine if any number is divisible by 28277, apply this test:

1. If your number ("X") has 11 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 10 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 11 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
2. Multiply L by 8612 and add to R.
3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 8483 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 28277. That is, your original number is divisible by 28277 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 28277-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 28277. If the Y is still much larger than 28277, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 28277.

Easy!
