it is not divisible by 23
23 is prime and 17! doesn't have 23 as a prime factor

Yes 23 is a prime number and 18! doesn't have 23 as its factor so its not divisible.

On dividing 18! from 23 we get, 278364074162086.95652173913043478.

So its divisible.
Hahahaha

okay, that was boring. here is a real good one. i mean, there are vairious ways to do it, but the most brilliant answer gets a salute from me.
 
prove that any number of the form ABCABC is divisible by 7,11 and 13.

oye, its not a joke
 
prove that any number of the form ABCABC, where A,B and C are single digit numbers, is divisible by 7,11 and 13.

@TKA
 
I CAN PROVE THAT NO. IS DIVISIBLE BY 11.
ADD ALL DIGITS AT EVEN PLACES.
THEN ADD ALL DIGITS AT ODD PLACES
THEN SUBTRACT THESE TWO ADDN .IF THIS COMES OUT TO BE DIVISIBLE BY 11,THE NO. IS DIVISIBLE BE 11.IN THIS CASE IT COMES OUT TO BE 0(A+C+B-B-A-C).HENCE NO. IS DIVISIBEL BY 11.
 
FOR 7 &13 I CAN GIVE U TESTS.
 
Test for divisibility by 7. Double the last digit and subtract it from the remaining leading truncated number. If the result is divisible by 7, then so was the original number. Apply this rule over and over again as necessary. Example: 826. Twice 6 is 12. So take 12 from the truncated 82. Now 82-12=70. This is divisible by 7, so 826 is divisible by 7 also.
 
Test for divisibility by 13. Add four times the last digit to the remaining leading truncated number. If the result is divisible by 13, then so was the first number. Apply this rule over and over again as necessary.
Example: 50661-->5066+4=5070-->507+0=507-->50+28=78 and 78 is 6*13, so 50661 is divisible by 13.
