That is, a number is divisible by 11 if and only if the alternating sum (+/-) of its digits is 0 or 11.
if and only if ?
There's some really bizarre one for 7 but I forgot how it goes. Probably on Wikipedia.
Take the last digit off the number (to reduce the amount of digits by one), double it and subtract it from the original number with the last digit off. If the result is divisible by 7 then the original number is too.
Am I late on this? Does Sun Ra have to teach me everything?
70's math trick
much much much older than that.
But it isn't all that profound. It has nothing to do with the values of the numbers, only their notation. In a base-12 number system, for example, it wouldn't work. It works because we enumerate by 10s, and 9 is one less than ten. As you stack nines up, the tens place goes up by one while the ones place drops by one [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, etc].
Primes, squares, roots ... that stuff can get interesting (not that I'm some obscuro mathematician ... I just know enough to realize that this means next to nothing).

You're right (to question that). It is if and only if the alternating sum is divisible by 11. Or, if you continue the process until a single digit number, if and only if you end with a 0.

The number 9 and its multiples is only Kabbalah related people...y'all got it twisted if you think its conspiracy related. The point is to grant a number for each letter of the alphabet. A=9, B=18, C=27, D=36, etc...this way, you can "decipher" the code of the Bible and the Torah also. Let me give you an example...
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X 9-18-27-36-45-54-63-72-81-90-99-108-117-126-135-144-153-162-171-180-189-198-207-216 Y Z -225-234
Masons used that one, plus the "mirror table"...it's too long to explain. But shit makes sense once you get into it. It's just a way to prove that those who" wrote" the sacred text had an hidden agenda. That's it. Of course, it requires to believe that God exist, that Jesus was a man, exeptionnal indeed, but human, that Lucifer exist, and so on...It's not all bullshit. It goes way back. Actually, the Egyptians are the ones who inspired all that. To be more accurate, if we are using numbers nowadays, we have to thank the Egyptians. Ask a mathematician around you. He would tell you.

All of the divisibility properties, though, are purely numerical, and can be seen as independent of Kabbalah. Just to keep it related to the original post.
thanks for noticing, im' trying to make shit accessible, even tho' it's not. It took me two years to understand the underlying statement behind all those numbers theories. It's very interesting indeed.

Ha! Keep on dreaming, serf.
I love rationalist. They don't even realize they are irrational when they defend their positions.
Not that I take it too seriously, but I'm not really defending a position. All of the divisibility properties are just true, whether you know anything about Kabbalah or not. That's all I was saying.

seriously. math is math. why do I need kabbalah to teach me what 1 + 7 + + 7 + 6 equals?
the real interesting numerology in kabbalah is not just multiplication tables, it's the hidden meanings found in Hebrew texts when each Hebrew letter is assigned a numerical value.

I just don't know anything about it, apart from that movie Pi. Sounds pretty sweet though.
The short reason for why the 9 thing works though, is that 10, 100, 1000, or any power of 10 has a remainder of 1 when divided by 9. So adding up digits is just adding up remainders. If the remainders add up to multiples of 9, then they add together to get something divisible by 9, and vice versa.

I had almost forgotten about that terd! I challenge anyone to ride for this movie in 2008. and by ride I mean going out and renting it today. matter of fact I found "requiem for a film school project parody" equally annoying. hijack over sorry.
really the numerology thing is a very small part of Kabbalah; it just happens to be one of the "cooler" parts.
I understand what you're saying, but you dont get my point. It is not strictly Mathematic. It's called GEMATRY. The point is not to calculate anything if you prefer. The point is to decode sacred text. The results of equations are not really interesting if you dont make analogy with the Bible and the Torah (and the Talmud). It's another mistake to think it's Jewish related. This shit goes beyond religions. It explains religions if you prefer. It was created when sacred didn't exist yet. Those numbers actually allowed sacred text to be written in the form we know. That's it. Number 23 wwas just a movie, when Pi was an introduction to ONE problem we yet didn't resolve. Everyone is not entitled to be fascinated though...to each his own.

I find equations interesting for their own sake. I find all of the pure mathematics completely interesting. That's just where we differ. The divisibility properties are strictly mathematical, and applying those to texts is something more. That sounds interesting as well, but I don't know anything about it.
I am roughly with you on one point: I do think that mathematics, astronomy, and religion all came about at the same time, which might explain why they are often so intertwined (or vice versa if you want).
While we're on this, I might as well point out that you can tell if any number is divisible by 4 just by looking at the last two numbers. If they're divisible, then the whole number is.
Same with 2 and 5, of course, but those are far more intuitive.
In the 1960's, Pomona College's Professor Donald Bentley completed a mathematical proof that stated that all numbers were equal, therefore all numbers were equal to 47.
Does anyone have this proof? Hopefully it's not just one of those 'all cats are black by induction' type things.

something tells me there some division-by-zero involved and its a bunch of bullshit

What town/city in elementary skool?
And ...
21 * 9 = 189 = 18
whoops! you mean it no worky forever?? Though, I guess in this parallel universe, 18 = 9.
But this 9 stuff is for the kiddies. Just a bi-product of our base 10 number system. Everyone knows that 47 is that real sh*t.
New Orleans.
Yes, according to Kabala: 18 = 1 + 8 = 9
much much much older than that.
