Divisor 6991

To determine if any number is divisible by 6991, apply the "asdf 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 287 and add to R.
3. Take that result and cross off its final digit (units). Take this new number and subtract 699 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 6991. That is, your original number is divisible by 6991 if (and only if) Y is. Now that it's much smaller, with basic knowledge of your 6991-times tables, it should be easy to visually see if Y is divisible by 6991. If the Y is still much larger than 6991, the above process can be repeated until it does reduce to within small multiples of 6991.

Easy!
