Is an arbitrary number of the form xyzxyz divisible by 7, 11, 13?
So I was given this question
Choose any 3-digit number xyz and write it after itself as follows: xyzxyz. Check whether it is divisible by 7,11, 13. Is an arbitrary number of the form xyzxyz divisible by 7, 11, 13?
I am completely lost by this question. I seen divisibility of prime numbers and how to work with it, but I'm unsure how to apply it to this problem
Hint:
$$7\cdot11\cdot13=1001$$
Every number of that form is divisible by $7$, $11$ and $13$:
$$\underbrace{xyz}_\text{1000xyz}~xyz = 1000xyz + xyz = 1001xyz = 7\cdot11\cdot13\cdot xyz$$
Here is a more naive approach. Just using the usual criteria.
Divisibility by 7: $$z+3y+2x+6z+4y+5x=7z+7y+7x=7 (x+y+z), $$so $xyzxyz $ is a multiple of $7$.
Divisibility by $11$: $$z-y+x-z+y-x=0, $$ so $xyzxyz $ is a multiple of $11$.
Divisibility by $13$: $$z-3y-4x-z+3y+4x=0, $$ so $xyzxyz $ is a multiple of $13$.
