Test the divisibility of each of the following numbers by 7:
(i) 693
(ii) 7896
(iii) 3467
(iv) 12873
(v) 65436
(vi) 54636
(vii) 98175
(viii) 88777
(i) 693
69 − (2 × 3) = 69 − 6 = 63, which is divisible by 7.
Hence, 693 is divisible by 7.
(ii) 7896
789 − (2 × 6) = 789 − 12 = 777, which is divisible by 7.
Hence, 7896 is divisible by 7.
(iii) 3467
346 − (2 × 7) = 346 − 14 = 332, which is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 3467 is not divisible by 7.
(iv) 12873
1287 − (2 × 3) = 1287 − 6 = 1281, which is divisible by 7.
Hence, 12873 is divisible by 7.
(v) 65436
6543 − (2 × 6) = 6543 − 12 = 6531, which is divisible by 7.
Hence, 65436 is divisible by 7.
(vi) 54636
5463 − (2 × 6) = 5463 − 12 = 5451, which is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 54636 is not divisible by 7.
(vii) 98175
9817 − (2 × 5) = 9817 − 10 = 9807, which is divisible by 7.
Hence, 98175 is divisible by 7.
(viii) 88777
8877 − (2 × 7) = 8877 − 14 = 8863, which is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 88777 is not divisible by 7.
