1. Statement of the Problem

In this article, the core problem which this study intends

to investigate or to look-into is two folds;
• Trying to investigate or explore other proposition for the
divisibility test for 7 and for other integers, and;
• Expanding the outcome of the approach to divisibility.
2. Assumptions
The study will focus on exploring the approach to
divisibility through observation and by investigating the
proposed proposition for the divisibility test for 7 and for
other integers such as 11, 13, and 17.
The study is delimited in obtaining new proposition that
involves divisibility test for 7 and for other integers such as
11, 13, and 17, and form a conjecture of the proposed
proposition.
3. Definition of Terms
Definition 3.1 (Modular Arithmetic)
Sometimes referred to as modulus arithmetic
or clock arithmetic, in its most elementary form,
arithmetic done with a count that resets itself to
zero every time a certain whole number N greater
than one, known as the modulus (mod), has been
reached.
3. Definition of Terms
Definition 3.2 (Congruence Modulo m)
Let be a positive integer. Then an integer is
said to be congruent to an integer modulo if
and we denote this in symbols as, ; is the
modulus of the congruence relation.
3. Definition of Terms
Definition 3.3 (Linear Congruence)
A congruence of the form where x is an unknown
integer is called a linear congruence in one variable.
Theorem 3.3.1 The linear congruence is solvable if .
Lemma 3.3.2 Let denote the set of integers. Let such
that . Then, we have
.

Definition 3.4 (Greatest Common Divisor (GCD))

The greatest common divisor of two integers
and is the greatest integer that divides both and .
We denote the GCD of two integers and by .

Definition 3.5 (Fundamental Theorem of

Arithmetic)
Every positive integer different from 1 can be
written uniquely as a product of primes.

Definition 3.6 (Relatively Prime/Co-prime/Mutually

Prime)
Two integers and are relatively prime if .
4. Nature and Importance of the Study

The significance of the study will try to focus and

emphasize in contributing to the following:
• The readers and towards individual who are certainly
part of the society as a whole that this study may serve
as a guide dealing with knowledge especially for those
who are taking similar studies.
4. Nature and Importance of the Study

• And, to the future researchers who would plan to make

any related study especially the standard under the
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics program.
Overall, this research will be a useful tool as a
reference in giving a quality and synchronized way of
making their work easygoing.
