I have to check, if given number is divisible by 7, which is usualy done just by doing something like n % 7 == 0, but the problem is, that given number can have
N = abc
There is a simple algorithm to verify if a three-digit number is a multiple of 7:
Substitute a by x and add it to bc, being x the tens of a two-digit number multiple of 7 whose hundreds is a.
N = 154; x = 2; 2 + 54 = 56; 7|56 and 7|154
N = 931; x = 4; 4 + 31 = 35; 7|35 and 7|931
N = 665; x = 5; 5 + 65 = 70; 7|70 and 7|665
N = 341; x = 6; 6 + 41 = 47; 7ł47 and 7ł341
If N is formed by various periods the inverse additive of the result of one period must be added to the sum of the next period, this way:
N = 341.234
6 + 41 = 47; - 41 mod 7 ≡ 1; 1 + 4 + 34 = 39; 7ł39 and 7łN
N = 341.234.612.736.481
The result for 341.234 is 39. Continuing from this result we have:
-39 mod 7 ≡ 3; 3 + 5 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 18; - 18 mod 7 ≡ 3; 3 + 0 + 36 = 39; - 39 mod 7 ≡ 3; 3 + 1 + 81 = 85; 7ł85 and 7łN
This rule may be applied entirely through mental calculation and is very quick. It was derived from another rule that I created in 2.005. It works for numbers of any magnitude and for divisibility by 13.
