Check the sum of the digits, if the sum divisible by 3 then the number is divisible by 3. Example 910: the sum of digits= 9 + 1 + 0 = 10, but 10 is not divisible by 3, so the number 910 is not divisible by 3. Example 2154: the sum of digits = 2 + 1 + 5 + 4 = 12, this sum is divisible by 3, so the number 2154 is divisible by 3. if the sum is long you can check the sum of the sum and apply the same rule. Example 52498731: the sum of digits = 5 + 2 + 4 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 3 + 1 = 39, the sum of the digits for 39 = 3 + 9 = 12, so the original number, i.e. 52498731 is divisible by 3.

Is 8435 divisible by 3?
To determine if a number is divisible by 3, add all the digits. If the sum is divisible by 3, so is the number. 8+4+3+5 = 20, which is not divisible by 3 (not a multiple of 3). So, 8435 is not divisible by 3.
What is a quick way to determine if 3 is a factor of a number?
If the sum of the digits of a given number is divisible by three, the number is divisible by three.
Is 313 or 351 equally divisible by 3?
To determine if a number is divisible by 3, you can add up the digits of the number and check if the sum is divisible by 3. For 313, the sum of the digits is 3+1+3=7, which is not divisible by 3. For 351, the sum of the digits is 3+5+1=9, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 351 is divisible by 3, but 313 is not.
What is the rule to determine if a number is divisible by 12?
That the number is divisible by 4* and the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3. *If the number has three of more digits then it is only necessary to look at the tens and units to determine if it is divisible by 4, as 4 is a factor of 100 and therefore of any multiple of 100. Examples : 75 : is not divisible by 4 although its digits total 12 which is a multiple of 3. 132 : is divisible by 4 as 32 is divisible by 4, and its digits total 6 which is divisible by 3, then 132 is divisible by 12.
Write a rule to determine when a number is divisible by 12?
A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 3 AND it is divisible by 4. Rule 1a (Divisibility by 3): Add up all the digits of the number. Is this number divisible by 3? Rule 1b (Divisibility by 4): Is the number formed by the last two digits of the original number (the number left after deleting the hundreds, thousands, millions etc) divisible by 4? If the answer to 1a is NO, then the number is not divisible by 3 and so not divisible by 12. In this case, obviously, rule 1b is irrelevant. If the answer to 1b is NO, then the number is not divisible by 4 and so not divisible by 12. If the answer to both 1a and 1b is YES, then the number is divisible by 12.
