You test by :=
All EVEN Numbers are divisible by '2'
All numbers ending in '5' or ''0' are divisible by '5'
All numbers whose digits add to '9' are divisible by '9'. e.g. 234 2+3+4 = 9
All numbers whose form is ' m(m+n)n ' e.g. 132 are divisible by '11'.
This leaves only '3' and '7' to test by actual division.

Divide the smaller number into the larger one. If the answer is an integer, it's a multiple.
Simply look at the number!
The lowest common multiple (lowest number which goes in all three) of 3,2 and 7 is 42. We know that 3, 2 and 7 cannot be divided by one another to give an integer, so we must multiply them to get the LCM.
Of any integers, start with dividing by 1, 2, 3. You know /1=86. /2 is 43. That's your answer. Any number after this gives you a smaller number than 40
3 is a factor of 21 and it is not a multiple of 7.
Designate the unknown number by n. If n/6 = 12, n = 12 X 6 = 72. Another answer: You must be an American. In any other country you would know your 12 times tables and know the answer in your head.
