Divisibility checks against prime numbers can all be accomplished with the same routine, applied recursively, consisting of add or subtract x times the last digit to or from the remaining number. For example, for 13, add four times the last digit to the rest:<ul><li>2392: 239 + 4*2 = 247: 24 + 4*7 = 52: 5 + 4*2 = 13 -&gt; 2392 is divisible by 13.</li></ul>For 17, subtract five times the last digit from the rest:<ul><li>3281: 328 - 5*1 = 323: 32 - 5*3 = 17 -&gt; 3281 is divisible by 17.</li></ul>For 19, add two times the last digit to the rest:<ul><li>16863: 1686 + 2*3 = 1692: 169 + 2*2 = 173: 17 + 2*3 = 23: 2 + 2*3 = 8 -&gt; 16863 is not divisible by 19.</li></ul>And, for 11, subtract the last digit from the rest:<ul><li>269830: 26983 - 0 = 26983: 2698 - 3 = 2695: 269 - 5 = 264: 26 - 4 = 22: 2 - 2 = 0 -&gt; 269830 is divisible by 11.</li></ul>Write a function to return a true-false vector for the prime numbers in the 11:20 range ([11 13 17 19]) based on a number supplied as a string.Restrictions on Java, mod, ceil, round, and floor are still in effect.Previous problem: <a href = "http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/42454-divisible-by-n-prime-divisors-including-powers">Divisible by n, prime divisors (including powers)</a>.

in problem's explantation, Example in "17" part, it probably is: "3281 is divisible by 17.", not 2392 ?

@bainhome: thanks for catching that; it's been fixed.
