When testing for numbers that 'go into' Test wi the Prime Numbers:-
#1; Is it an even number . In thisd case No. so discoiunt '2'
#2; Does it end in '5' or '10' . In this case NO so discount '5'
#3 ; Do the digits add to '9' . In this case YES 2+6+1 = 9 , so it will divide by '9'.
#4 ; '3' & '7' are the only other two possibilites, however, they will be manually tested.
Hence
261/9 = 29
261/ 3 = 87
261/7 = 37. remainder '2' So '7' DOESN'T Go
Hence '3' & '9' will go into 261.
The other unique number is '11' . e.g. 132 . To test if the middle number add to the sum of the outside numbers , in this 1 + 2 = 3 the it will divide by '11'
Try 143 , or 275
