Here’s how “Chika’s Test” works: Take any whole number, and focus on its last digit. Multiply that digit by 5, and then add the result to the remaining part of the number. The resulting new number is the key. If this new number is divisible by 7, then the original number is also divisible by 7.
This simple yet effective method can significantly simplify the process of testing numbers for divisibility by 7. In recognition of his exceptional achievement, Chika has been presented with the prestigious TruLittle Hero Award.
