To find numbers of the form 7aaa that are multiples of 7, I use:

sage:print [a for a in [0..9] if (7000+111*a)%7==0]
[0, 7]

I do not know how to write for 7|7abc.

Thanks.

I reedit your question. Please double check that it is all right. It was not very clear.

Hello,

There are various solutions. To generate the list of numbers of the form 7abc, you can use one of:

sage: numbers0 = range(7000,8000)
sage: numbers1 = [7000 + x for x in range(1000)]
sage: numbers2 = [7000 + a*100 + b*10 + c for a in range(10) for b in range(10) for c in range(10)]

Then you can check divisibility the very same way you did. But note that there is a faster way since x is a multiple of 7 if and only if x+7 is a multiple of 7. So once you find one, you only need to go 7 by 7.

Is that ok ?

Vincent

I tried:

sage: a=range(7000,8000)
sage: print[a if a%7==0]
  File "<ipython-input-30-590163f2a51e>", line 1
print[a if a%Integer(7)==Integer(0)]
                                   ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I find a solution:

print [a for a in [7000..7999] if a%7==0]

Thank you for support.
