Concept Used :

Divisibility of 13 : A number is divisible by 13 if the number formed by the remaining digits plus the last digit four times is divisible by 13.

Divisibility of 7 : The difference between twice the unit digits of the given number and the rest of the given number must be a multiple of 7 or  equal to 0.

Divisibility of 3 : If the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3, the number is divisible by 3.

The given number is 2143251.

Divisiblity of 13 : 214325 + 4 = 214329 is not divisible by 13.

Divisibility of 7 : 214325 - 2 = 214323 is not divisible by 7.

Divisibility of 3 : 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 1 = 18 which is divisible by 3
