Test for Divisibility by 6241

To determine if any number is divisible by 6241, apply this test:

  1. If your number ("X") has 6 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 5 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 6 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
  2. Multiply L by 144 and add to R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 624 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 6241. That is, your original number is divisible by 6241 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 6241-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 6241. If the Y is still much larger than 6241, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 6241.

Easy!
