COMMENTS

(n==0 modulo 7) iff (a(n)==0 modulo 7); applied recursivly, this property provides a divisibility test for numbers given in base 10 notation.

FORMULA

a(n)= +a(n-1) +a(n-10) -a(n-11).

G.f.: x*(-2-2*x-2*x^2-2*x^3-2*x^4-2*x^5-2*x^6-2*x^7-2*x^8+19*x^9)/ ((1+x) * (x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1) * (x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1) * (x-1)^2).

EXAMPLE

695591 is not a multiple of 7, as 695591 -> 69559-2*1=69557 -> 6955-2*7=6941 -> 694-2*1=692 -> 69-2*2=65=7*9+2, therefore the answer is No; is 3206 divisible by 7? 3206 -> 320-2*6=308 -> 30-2*8=14=7*2, therefore the answer is Yes, indeed 3206=2*7*229.
