The base conversion divisibility test is a process that can be used to determine whether or not a certain (positive) natural number a can be divided evenly into a larger natural number b. It is the general case for the well-known test for divisibility by nine. For other divisors, applying this test is generally harder than figuring it out by normal division.

Nor could it ever have been old.
For he, to whom we had applied
Our shopman’s test of age and worth,
Was elemental when he died,
As he was ancient at his birth:”
