The Pythagorean Theorem, arguably one of the best-known results in mathematics, states that a triangle is a right triangle if and only if the sum of the squares of the lengths of two of its sides equals the square of the length of its third side.

Divisibility tests for digits other than 7 are well known and rely on the base 10 representation of numbers. For example, a natural number is divisible by 4 if the last 2 digits are divisible by 4 because 4 divides 10[sup k] for all k equal to or greater than 2. Divisibility tests for 7, while not nearly as well known, do exist and are also…
