12yr old Nigerian becomes a scholar after discovering new Maths formula

Meet Chika Ofili: The 12-year-old math genius who did what textbook authors couldn't! 🤯🔢

While most 12-year-olds were playing video games during their summer break, this brilliant British-Nigerian student discovered a brand-new, simple formula to test if any number is divisible by 7.

📚 How it happened:

Chika noticed his math prep book had quick divisibility shortcuts for numbers 2 through 9—but the rule for 7 was missing or too complicated. Instead of ignoring it, he sat down and invented his own algebraic solution! 🧠💥

💡 The "Ofili Rule" is incredibly simple: 1️⃣ Take the last digit of any number. 2️⃣ Multiply it by 5. 3️⃣ Add that to the rest of the number.

👉 Example: Is 532 divisible by 7? • Separate the 2: 53 and 2. • Multiply by 5: 2 × 5 = 10. • Add them up: 53 + 10 = 63. Since 63 is a multiple of 7, 532 is too! Absolute genius. 👑

🏆 For his incredible breakthrough, Chika was awarded the prestigious TruLittle Hero Award in the UK in 2019, proving that your age never limits your impact.
