He tried as a 12 years old boy. However there are many of such things on the internet. Rules of divisibility is the first thing you learn in number theory. I.e divisibility by 2,3.......11

Every average mathematician knows that this boy's achievement is a unique feat.

Now tell me.
What is the divisibility rule for 11?

He tried, I think these numbers were specially selected. Oya, let him divide 123 by 7 na
I think u don't understand this post, instead of u to give honour to those that deserves it, yet in the process of trying to ridicule the post, u ended up disgracing your surname, ask urself, 123 is it divisible by 7??

That means you did not understand what his formula is all about. He said the formula is used to know whether a number can be divided by 7.

By applying that same format to your 123.

123.

12 + 3×5 =27

Hence 123 is not a multiple of 7.
Why can't you use your brain and work ���

Exactly, what I tried to say that 123 and other numbers are indivisible by 7.............. and I commended him at the start of my post but some people are always edgy whenever they feel they or theirs coming under an attack.

Excel have solved our problems already.
Nice effort tho Chika
learnt it before I became 10 years old.
What's your point?

Excel and other spreadsheets are based on such little efforts and discoveries.

No big deal. He only succeeded in manipulating numbers logically in a giving set to ascertain whether the set is divisible by 7 or na.
sad
Needless to say, I am not awed by his discovery .

Not new... I also discovered a formula at age 7. angry

Anything multiplied by 11.... See below.

Example.... 43*11 = 4[4+3]3 = 473; 24*11 = 2[2+4]4 = 264.

Any question? angry

You know it doesn't mean we're of the same generation. Someone came up with it. I did, bro. cool

I also have another strategy for 12 multiplication.

It isn't classified as a discovery, it's more of a strategy which most Mathematicians seem to employ.

A lot of us have been requesting for the formula of chika
Even someone said want does a Small boy of 12years know to discover something I. Maths.

Someone just sent me a copy here on Niaraland.
I found out that is more than a formula. It is a test and a pattern.

As a matter of fact, I have just learnt it and a lot of my students too, have started using it.

Yes he solved a problem.

Numbers that 2,3,5,10, can divide can be easily identified.
But number that 7 and 11 can divide other their are other ways to identify it
But it hardly stick.

But this chika's test I just so easy in that if reduce the large number to smaller easy to comprehend numbers of which a decision can be easily made, here is the formula if you have any step u don't understand I will be glad to explain what master chika's test for u.

The English that you typed it harder than the maths.
