abcde is five digit number. Show that abcde is divisible by 7 if and only if the number abcd-(2*e) is divisible by 7 (* means Multiplication)

Denote concatenation  xyzw by bold letters ,-and multiplication    xyzw by regular font.

n1 = abcde= 10*abcd +e

 n2 =10* (abcd -2e)=10*abcd -20e

n1-n2= 21*e    is divisible by 7.

 

Reading the 3 lines to fro makes it if and only if.
