Since 3 is a whole number, you would want to multiply it by 1/3 so both of them cancel each other out and form 3/3 which equals 1.
If you want to multiply something by something to get one then you need to multiply the number by its recipricol or multiplicitive inverse. We want to multiply something by 3 to get one. The recipricol or multiplicitive inverse of a number is one dividided by that number. Our number is 3 so the recipricol or multiplicitive inverse is 1\3. So 3 times 1\3 equals 1.

3 times what equals zero is not 3 cause 3 x 3 equals nine not 1!
