Divisibility Rules: How to Test if a Number is Divisible by 7

TLDRLearn how to test if a number is divisible by 7 using a simple trick. Split the number into two parts and perform a calculation. If the result is divisible by 7, the original number is divisible too.

Key insights

🔢Divisibility by 7 can be determined using a simple calculation.

If the result of the calculation is divisible by 7, the original number is divisible by 7 as well.

💡The trick is to split the number into two parts and perform a specific calculation.

🧠Divisibility by 7 is useful in various situations, such as splitting bills among a group of people.

🔢Other divisibility rules, such as those for numbers like 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11, can also be used to determine divisibility.
