Check if a number is divisible by 47 or not

Last Updated : 22 Jul, 2022

Given a number N, the task is to check whether the number is divisible by 47 or not.
Examples:

Input: N = 1645
Output: yes
Explanation:
47 * 35 = 1645
Input: N = 4606
Output: yes
Explanation:
47 * 98 = 4606

Approach: The divisibility test of 47 is:

Extract the last digit.
Subtract 14 * last digit from the remaining number obtained after removing the last digit.
Repeat the above steps until a two-digit number, or zero, is obtained.
If the two-digit number is divisible by 47, or it is 0, then the original number is also divisible by 47.

For example:

If N = 59173

Step 1:
  N = 59173
  Last digit = 3
  Remaining number = 5917
  Subtracting 14 times last digit
  Resultant number = 5917 - 14*3 = 5875

Step 2:
  N = 5875
  Last digit = 5
  Remaining number = 587
  Subtracting 14 times last digit
  Resultant number = 587 - 14*5 = 517

Step 3:
  N = 517
  Last digit = 7
  Remaining number = 51
  Subtracting 14 times last digit
  Resultant number = 51 - 14*7 = -47

Step 4:
  N = -47
  Since N is a two-digit number,
  and -47 is divisible by 47

Therefore N = 59173 is also divisible by 47

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to check whether a number
// is divisible by 47 or not
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

// Function to check if the number is  divisible by 47 or not 
bool isDivisible(int n)  
{
    int d;
    // While there are at least two digits 
    while (n / 100) 
    {
 
        // Extracting the last 
        d = n % 10;
 
        // Truncating the number 
        n /= 10;
 
        // Subtracting fourteen times the last 
        // digit to the remaining number 
        n = abs(n-(d * 14));
    }
    // Finally return if the two-digit
    // number is divisible by 47 or not
    return (n % 47 == 0) ;
}

// Driver Code 
int main() {
    int N = 59173;
 
    if (isDivisible(N)) 
        cout<<"Yes"<<endl ;
    else 
        cout<<"No"<<endl ;
   
     return 0;     
}
