Sorry if I am wrong, but I believe the example should be F(4) is the value of the thousands digit of N .

In my opinion, in actual GMAT, we are not allowed to use calculator, so every calculation is done by ourselves.

In case that we face this question, I think we could still complete it under 2 mins.

In statement (1), we simply check whether 1001 is divisible by 7 or not.

In statement (2), we simply check whether 111,111 is divisible by 7 or not. And the division by 7 is not complex. I believe that anyone could make it in about 10 secs.

Here is how I make the calculation

We can write 6-digit number abc,abc as abc∗1000+abc because abc,abc = abc,000 + abc = abc∗1000+abc. For example, 123,123 = 123,000 + 123 = 123*1000 + 123.

If in a six-digit integer \(n\), \(f(k)\) represents the value of the \(k_{th}\) digit from the leftmost digit, is \(n\) is divisible by 7? (For example, \(f(4)\) corresponds to the value of the hundreds digit of \(n\).)


(1) \(f(1) = f(4), f(2) = f(5), f(3) = f(6)\)

(2) \(f(1) = f(2) = f(3) = f(4) = f(5) = f(6)\)


I took great amount of time in understanding formation of six digit integer.

I incorrectly calculated 'k'th digit from leftmost digit.

Example:
Six digit number be 123123. So I felt f(4) should be 4th digit after leftmost digit "1"- "2"
Though, I should have read example mentioned in the question correctly.
