I: Consider the following numbers which are divisible by 7, using the test of divisibility by 7: 133, 273, 329, 595, 672.
(i) 133
In the number 133, double the last digit of the number 3 is 6. 13 – 6 = 7 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 7 is divisible by 7.
Hence, 133 is also divisible by 7.
(ii) 273
In the number 273, double the last digit of the number 3 is 6. 27 – 6 = 21 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of theremaining number]
Since 21 is divisible by 7.
Hence, 273 is also divisible by 7.
(iii) 329
In the number 329, double the last digit of the number 9 is 18. 32 – 18 = 14 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 14 is divisible by 7.
Hence, 329 is also divisible by 7.
(iv) 595
In the number 595, double the last digit of the number 5 is 10. 59 – 10 = 49 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 49 is divisible by 7.
Hence, 595 is also divisible by 7.
(v) 672
In the number 672, double the last digit of the number 2 is 4. 67 – 4 = 63 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 63 is divisible by 7.
Hence, 672 is also divisible by 7.
II: Consider the following numbers which are not divisible by 7, using the rules of divisibility by 7: 167, 233, 297, 305,317.
(i) 167
In the number 167, double the last digit of the number 7 is 14. 16 – 14 = 2 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 2 is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 167 is also not divisible by 7.
(ii) 233
In the number 233, double the last digit of the number 3 is 6. 23 – 6 = 17 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 17 is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 233 is also not divisible by 7.
(iii)297
In the number 297, double the last digit of the number 7 is 14. 29 – 14 = 15 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 15 is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 297 is also not divisible by 7.
(iv) 305
In the number 305, double the last digit of the number 5 is 10. 30 – 10 = 20 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 20 is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 305 is also not divisible by 7.
(v) 317
In the number 317, double the last digit of the number 7 is 14. 31 – 14 = 17 [Now we need to subtract it from the rest of the remaining number]
Since 17 is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 317 is also not divisible by 7.
