The correct Answer is:
To determine if the number 5292758387 is divisible by 7, we can use the divisibility rule for 7. Here are the steps to follow: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the last digit and the remaining number**: - The last digit (unit digit) of the number 5292758387 is 7. - The remaining number after removing the last digit is 529275838. 2. **Double the last digit**: - Double of 7 is \( 7 \times 2 = 14 \). 3. **Subtract the doubled last digit from the remaining number**: - Now, subtract 14 from 529275838: \[ 529275838 - 14 = 529275824. \] 4. **Repeat the process**: - The last digit of 529275824 is 4. - The remaining number is 52927582. - Double of 4 is \( 4 \times 2 = 8 \). - Subtract 8 from 52927582: \[ 52927582 - 8 = 52927574. \] 5. **Continue repeating**: - The last digit of 52927574 is 4. - The remaining number is 5292757. - Double of 4 is \( 4 \times 2 = 8 \). - Subtract 8 from 5292757: \[ 5292757 - 8 = 5292749. \] 6. **Repeat again**: - The last digit of 5292749 is 9. - The remaining number is 529274. - Double of 9 is \( 9 \times 2 = 18 \). - Subtract 18 from 529274: \[ 529274 - 18 = 529256. \] 7. **Continue the process**: - The last digit of 529256 is 6. - The remaining number is 52925. - Double of 6 is \( 6 \times 2 = 12 \). - Subtract 12 from 52925: \[ 52925 - 12 = 52913. \] 8. **Repeat**: - The last digit of 52913 is 3. - The remaining number is 5291. - Double of 3 is \( 3 \times 2 = 6 \). - Subtract 6 from 5291: \[ 5291 - 6 = 5285. \] 9. **Final steps**: - The last digit of 5285 is 5. - The remaining number is 528. - Double of 5 is \( 5 \times 2 = 10 \). - Subtract 10 from 528: \[ 528 - 10 = 518. \] 10. **Final check**: - The last digit of 518 is 8. - The remaining number is 51. - Double of 8 is \( 8 \times 2 = 16 \). - Subtract 16 from 51: \[ 51 - 16 = 35. \] 11. **Check if the final number is divisible by 7**: - Now, we need to check if 35 is divisible by 7: \[ 35 \div 7 = 5 \quad \text{(which is a whole number)}. \] Since 35 is divisible by 7, we conclude that the original number 5292758387 is also divisible by 7. ### Final Conclusion: The number 5292758387 is divisible by 7.
