Test for Divisibility by 28387

To determine if any number is divisible by 28387, 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 Left and Right (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 2038 and subtract this from R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 8516 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 28387. That is, your original number is divisible by 28387 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 28387-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 28387. If the Y is still much larger than 28387, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 28387.

Easy!
