    To test if a number is divisible by 37: 1. Break the number into groups of three digits starting from the right and add the groups together. 2. Repeat this process until you have a three-digit number or less. 3. The original number is divisible by 37 if and only if the resulting three-digit number is divisible by 37.

    Testing for divisibility by 37

    Here is a quick and easy trick for determining if a number is divisible by 37. The trick is designed for numbers longer than three digits. (For shorter numbers, it's very easy -- see below).

    The method
    1. Divide the number up in groups of three digits, starting from the right. (The left-most group may not have three digits.) 2. Add the groups together. 3. If the result is still longer than three digits, repeat steps 1 and 2. When you finish this you have a three-digit (or smaller) number which can be quickly examined for divisibility by 37. The original number is divisible by 37 if and only if this three-digit number is.

    For short numbers
