How about this?

I don't know if we can easily get the name of the existing partition.
I'll have to check that.
I'm worried that this phrasing requires the user to understand that
"divisible by" is related to "factor of", which is of course correct but
introduces yet more complexity into this.
I'll play around with this a bit more.
Here is a new patch that implements the suggestions.
