Solution
To determine if a number is divisible by 7, double the last digit of the number and subtract it from the number formed by the remaining digits. If their difference is a multiple of 7, the number is divisible by 7.
2345 is divisible by 7.
We have 234 − 2 × 5 = 224, which is a multiple of 7.
