Test for Divisibility by 6889
To determine if any number is divisible by 6889, apply this test:
- If your number ("X") has 10 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 9 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 10 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
- Multiply L by 351 and subtract this from R.
- Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and add 689 times the digit you just crossed off. Call this final result "Y".
- Y will be much smaller than X, but we have preserved divisibility by 6889. That is, your original number is divisible by 6889 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 6889-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 6889. If the Y is still much larger than 6889, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 6889.
Easy!
