413 and Level 2

Advertisements

413 can’t be divided evenly by 2, 3, or 5. Can it be divided by 7? Here’s a couple of quick divisibility tricks to try, each requiring the last number to be separated from the rest giving us 41 and 3.

  1. Double the 3 and subtract it from 41. That gives us 41 – 6 = 35, a multiple of 7 so 413 can be divided evenly by 7.
  2. Multiply the 3 by five and add it to 41. That gives us 41 + 15 = 56, a multiple of 7 as well, so we can draw the same conclusion.

Thank you to abyssbrain for telling me about the second divisibility trick. All of 413’s factors are listed below the puzzle.
