Abstract

Inspired by the story behind Chika’s test for divisibility by 7 in the March 2020 issue of At Right Angles, I wanted to share a similar story, which doesn’t stop at finding the test for divisibility by 7, but goes on to discover the tests for divisibility by any number. I hope this story inspires young learners and even adults to keep making these little discoveries and to share the joy with others.
