The sum of the digits of a multiple of 3 sum to a number that is itself divisible by 3.

Example : 153 : 1 + 5 + 3 = 9 which is divisible by 3 so 153 is a multiple of 3.

But : 206 : 2 + 0 + 6 = 8 shows that 206 is NOT a multiple of 3.

Is 200 a multiple of 15?

No.15 = 3 x 5So for 200 to be a multiple of 15, it must be a multiple of both 3 and 5:2 + 0 + 0 = 2 which is not a multiple of 3 so 200 is not a multiple of 3.200 ends in 0, so it is a multiple of 5.Thus 200 is a multiple of 5, but not a multiple of 3; so it is not a multiple of 15.


Is 261 a multiple of 3?

Yes. Digit total is 9 which is a multiple of 3 so it is too.


Is 92 a multiple of 3?

No, 92 is not a multiple of 3. A quick way to check if a number is a multiple of 3 is: add up the digits of the number you are checking; if this sum equals 3 or a multiple of 3, then the number is a multiple of 3. So in this case, 92 --> 9+2=11, which is not a multiple of 3. If you have to you can add again, so for 11 --> 1+1=2, which is not a multiple of 3. You can always repetitively add until you get to a single digit answer: if it's 3,6 or 9 then it's a multiple of 3. Also if your sum is 9 or a multiple of 9, then the original number is a multiple of 9. To check for 6, if a number is a multiple of 3, and also a multiple of 2 (an even number), then the number is a multiple of 6.


Is three a multiple of seventy-eight?

To determine whether 3 is a multiple of 78, divide 78 by 3. You should get 78 / 3 = 26. So 3 is a multiple of 78. Another way to work out this problem is to add up the digits of 78. 7 + 8 = 15, which is divisible by 3. So 3 is a multiple of 78.


What is the product of the 3rd multiple of 3 and the fourth multiple of 4?

The third multiple of 3 is 9 and the fourth multiple of 4 is 16. So 9 multiplied by 16 is 144.

Is 15 a common multiple of 3 and 5 if so how?

15 is a multiple of 3. 15 is a multiple of 5. That makes it a common multiple of 3 and 5.


Is 1 a multiple of 3?

No, one is a factor of 3. A multiple is anything that can be divided by 3 such as 9 which is a multiple of 3 and so is 12 Think of taking the number 3 and multiplying it by 1,2,3,4,5... So the multiples of 3 are 3,6,9,12, 15,...


Is 3 a multiple of 3?

3,6,9 keep on going. As you can see, the numbers starts from 3 so 3 is a multiple of 3.


Is 261 a multiple of 3?

Is 28 a multiple of 3?

No, 28 could not be a multiple of 3.No. 28 divided by three is not a whole number, so it is not a multiple of three.

Is three a multiple of one or is it a multiple of three?

No, 3 isn't a multiple of 6 because the first multiple of 6 is 6. 3 is a factor of 6. 6 is a multiple of 3.


Will the numbers 100 appear in the 3 times table why or why not?

it will not since it is not a multiple of 3. 99 is a multiple of three so the next multiple would be 102.


Is 297 divisible by 3?

Yes, the quotient is 99 when you divide by three, but to check for divisibility (by 3 or 9), do this: If the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3 [9], then the number is a multiple of 3 [9]. This only works for 3 and 9. So for 297: 2+9+7 = 18, which is a multiple of 9 and 3, so it is a multiple of 3 (and a multiple of 9, as well; though the question didn't ask for that).
