COMMENT

(n==0 modulo 17) iff (a(n)==0 modulo 17); applied recursivly, this property provides a divisibility test for numbers given in base 10 notation.

EXAMPLE

12808 is not a multiple of 17, as 12808 -> 1280-5*8=1240 -> 124-5*0=124 -> 12-5*4=-8=17*(-1)+9, therefore the answer is NO;

is 9248 divisible by 17? 9248 -> 924-5*8=884 -> 88-5*4=68=17*4, therefore the answer is YES.
