0 Perhaps check it again Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 963258147 / 8 = 120407268.375 but these are 9 digits and not 8 , so you should devide the number by 9. You're right of course. I meant to point out that 96325814 / 8 = 12040726.75 It is sufficient to check that 814 divided by 8 does not equal an integer to know that 96325814 divided by 8 will not give an integer. Suppose that an integer is at least four digits long. That integer is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the three rightmost digits is divisible by 8. If the number formed by the three rightmost digits is not divisible by 8, then the original number is not divisible by 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Perhaps check it again Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 aristo, your candidate for an answer fails, for instance, when seeing that 943 is not divisible by 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
