@lemmy.worldWaaaait a second.
Does that hold for every base, where the divisor is 1 less than the base?
Specifically hexidecimal - could it be that 5 and 3 have the same "sum digits, get divisibility" property, since 15 (=3*5) is one less than the base number 16?
Like 2D16 is16*2+13 = 45, which is divisible by 3 and 5.
Can I make this into a party trick?! "Give me a number in hexidecimal, and I'll tell you if it's divisible by 10."
Am thinking it's 2 steps:
So if 1 and 2 are "yes", it's divisible by 10.
E.g.
Is this actually true? Have I found a new party trick for myself? How would I even know if this is correct?
