  2. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    495: the last digit is 5. 6: It is divisible by 2 and by 3. [6] 1,458: 1 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 18, so it is divisible by 3 and the last digit is even, hence the number is divisible by 6. Sum the ones digit, 4 times the 10s digit, 4 times the 100s digit, 4 times the 1000s digit, etc. If the result is divisible by 6, so is the original number.

  3. Trial division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_division

    Given an integer n (n refers to "the integer to be factored"), the trial division consists of systematically testing whether n is divisible by any smaller number. Clearly, it is only worthwhile to test candidate factors less than n, and in order from two upwards because an arbitrary n is more likely to be divisible by two than by three, and so on.

  4. Luhn mod N algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_mod_N_algorithm

    The Luhn mod N algorithm generates a check digit (more precisely, a check character) within the same range of valid characters as the input string. For example, if the algorithm is applied to a string of lower-case letters (a to z), the check character will also be a lower-case letter.

  5. Primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primality_test

    Since 2 divides , +, and +, and 3 divides and +, the only possible remainders mod 6 for a prime greater than 3 are 1 and 5. So, a more efficient primality test for n {\displaystyle n} is to test whether n {\displaystyle n} is divisible by 2 or 3, then to check through all numbers of the form 6 k + 1 {\displaystyle 6k+1} and 6 k + 5 ...

  6. Polydivisible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydivisible_number

    Graph of number of -digit polydivisible numbers in base 10 () vs estimate of (). Let be the number of digits. The function () determines the number of polydivisible numbers that has digits in base , and the function () is the total number of polydivisible numbers in base .

  7. The monkey and the coconuts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_monkey_and_the_coconuts

    If two divisions are done, a multiple of 5 · 5=25 rather than 5 must be used, because 25 can be divided by 5 twice. So the number of coconuts that could be in the pile is k · 25 – 4. k =1 yielding 21 is the smallest positive number that can be successively divided by 5 twice with remainder 1.

    It’s time to reconsider retiring on Social Security alone, especially if you’re one-half of a married couple. New data from GOBankingRates shows that across 50 major U.S. cities this income ...

  9. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    In computing, the modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, called the modulus of the operation.. Given two positive numbers a and n, a modulo n (often abbreviated as a mod n) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n, where a is the dividend and n is the divisor.
