Divisor 7297

To determine if any number is divisible by 7297, apply the "NereNothing Test":

1. If your number ("X") has 7 digits or more, separate the last (smallest) 6 digits from the rest. This makes two smaller numbers, call them L^eft and R^ight (note: don't add in trailing zeros to L). If there are fewer than 7 digits, L = 0 and therefore R = X.
2. Multiply L by 311 and add to R.
3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 2189 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 7297. That is, your original number is divisible by 7297 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 7297-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 7297. If the Y is still much larger than 7297, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 7297.

Easy!
