Master Chika Ofili, a 12-year-old Nigerian boy based in the UK, has bagged a special award for recognition after making a shocking new discovery in mathematics.
He is said to have discovered a new formula for divisibility by 7 in mathematics.
Every other number from 1 to 9 has a formula for divisibility except for 7.
His new formula for divisibility of 7 is to multiply the first and last digit in the figure together and then add it to the first two digits, then check if the new figure is a multiple of 7.

For example, to check if 7 can divide 532, the process is illustrated below:
5 x 2 = 10
53 + 10= 63
63 is a multiple of 7, therefore 7 can divide 532.
Amazing isn’t it??? Igbo to the world !!!! Nigeria to the World!!!
