<p><strong>Divisibility by 5:</strong>The units place digit is 3. Therefore, 1383 is not divisible by 5.</p>
41
<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>Doubling the last digit (3×2=6) and subtracting it from the rest of the number (138-6=132), we see that 132 is not divisible by 7, so 1383 is not divisible by 7.</p>
