Well, it seems that foreboding has fallen over the calm world that I call home. ZS forums and I are now best buds. (I think that zombies have less cred than nukes as a doomsday, but slightly more than aliens...)

9753 divides by 3.

Also, I think 2141 was prime?

Anyway: 961.

That one's impossible to do in your head... and it's not prime...
It sounds more like a programming exercise than a math problem, especially since the prime factors are so large.

The factors are 1753 and 785879.

the last digit gets 7 times added to the remaining number do this over and over as long as necessary. if one of the resulting numbers is divisible by 23 so is the first number.
