Great poster, going on my wall in A3 size.<br />
Could you give some examples of the 7 rule, I am having problems using it. Thanks

Thanks - so for the 7 divisibility rule:<br />
Lets test if 12264 is divisible by 7.<br />
So remove the last digit, 4 (we get 1226), double the removed number (4 x 2 = 8) and then subtract it from 1226 (to get 1218). Repeat the process - below is the full method:<br />
12264<br />
1226 - 8 = 1218<br />
remove the 8, double it, subtract it<br />
121 - 16 = 105<br />
remove 5, double it, subtract it<br />
10 - 10 = 0<br />
No remainder - therefore it is divisible by 7! <br />
I hope that makes sense!
