Test for Divisibility by 28813

To determine if any number is divisible by 28813, apply this test:

  1. If your number ("X") has 8 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 7 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 8 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
  2. Multiply L by 1889 and add to R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and add 8644 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 28813. That is, your original number is divisible by 28813 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 28813-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 28813. If the Y is still much larger than 28813, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 28813.

Easy!
