Identifying the multiples of 7 is a little bit tricky, because it involve a few complicated steps. Below are the steps to tell whether a number is a multiple of 7 or not.
Let's say we would like to know if 44,478 is a multiple of 7.
Steps:
- Take off the first digit of the number and then multiply it by two, then subtract it from the number. We get 4431
- Repeat step 1 with the new number (4431) we obtained.
- Repeat step 1 with the new number (441) we obtained in step 2. If the answer that we obtained is divisible by 7, then the number is divisible by 7.
- In this case, the answer that we obtained is 42, and 42 is divisible by 7, hence 44,478 is divisible by 7.
