The "Henrik Christian Grove Test" for Divisibility by 10667

To determine if any number is divisible by 10667, apply the "Henrik Christian Grove Test":

  1. 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.
  2. Multiply L by 751 and add to R.
  3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 3200 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 10667. That is, your original number is divisible by 10667 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 10667-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 10667. If the Y is still much larger than 10667, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 10667.

Easy!
