Divisibility Rule of " 7 ":
If a number is divisible by " 7 ", The last digit of the number is doubled and subtracted from the remaining number if the obtaining number is divisible by 7 then the whole number is divisible by " 7 "
For Example: 3024
the last digit of the number is, double the number
i.e,4*2=8
Subtract that number from the remaining number i.e, 302 -8=294
At this we use to check directly by 7 or we can do another iteration to get direct multiple of the 7
Again from 294, the last digit is doubled and subtracted from the remaining number
29-4*2=29-8=21
on sight, we can say that 21 is divisible of 7 then the whole number is divisible by "7"
Another Example:
Is it 398874 is divisible of 7?
Iteration 1: double the last digit and subtract form the number
39887-4*2=39887-8=39879
Iteration 2: again do the same thing double and subtract
3987-9*2=3987-18=3969
Iteration 3: Repeat
396-9*2=396-18=378
Iteration 4:Repeat
37-8*2=37-16=21
on sight that 21 is divisible by 7
therefore the whole number is divisible by 7
