To find out if a number is divisible by seven, take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the rest of the number.

Example: If you had 203, you would double the last digit to get six, and subtract that from 20 to get 14. If you get an answer divisible by 7 (including zero), then the original number is divisible by seven. If you don't know the new number's divisibility, you can apply the rule again.
