Is 159 Divisible By 7?




Here we will show you how to find out if 159 is divisible by 7.

If you have access to a calculator, the easiest way to figure out if 159 is divisible by 7 may be to simply enter 159/7 into the calculator. If the quotient is an integer, then 159 is divisible by 7.

However, you can also determine if 159 is divisible by 7 using an alternate method.

Simply multiply the last digit by 2 and then subtract the product from the remaining digits.

If that difference is divisible by 7, then 159 is divisible by 7.

The last digit in 159 is 9 and the remaining digits are 15. Thus, the math to determine if 159 is divisible by 7 using our alternate method is:

15 - (9 x 2) = -3

Since 3 is not divisible by 7, 159 is also not divisible by 7.

Therefore, the answer to "Is 159 Divisible By 7?" is no.
(159 / 7 = 22.714)
