You've read all 64 million pages that Google finds? Wow, you must be a 
fast reader! Well done!

Have you *tried*?

Perhaps you should try something a little bit less ambitious. Write a 
program to test whether a number is divisible by 3. Then write a 
program to test whether a number is divisible by 3 or 5. Then write a 
third program to test whether a number is divisible by 3, 5 or 7. 

Then generalise that third program.

Off you go. Come back when you have some code. Even if it isn't working 
code, at least try something.
