Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
Prior to the advent of the calculator, divisibility tests were often studied and utilised. Some of these tests were simple and easily remembered; others, more cumbersome and rarely utilised in either practical or theoretical work. The purpose of this article is to present a simple and general test for divisibility which is of applicable and theoretical interest.
