Add up the digits in a number, and if that sum is a multiple of 3, then the original number is also a multiple of 3. So 1 + 8 + 9 = 18, which if you're still not sure then 1+8=9, which is a multiple of 3. You can repetitively sum the digits until you have a result of a single digit number. If the single digit result is 3,6 or 9, then the original number is a multiple of 3. Also, if the single digit number is 9, then the number is also a multiple of 9. However, if the result is 6, then it is not necessarily a multiple of six.

Is 414 equally divisible by 3?

I think the question is mistyped, and should be "Is 414 evenly divisible by 3?" i.e. does it divide by 3 without leaving a remainder. The answer is yes. A quick way to tell if a number is divisible by 3 is to add the digits and if the total is divisible by 3, then the number in question is also divisible by 3 4 + 1 + 4 = 9 and 9 is divisible by 3 414 ÷ 3 = 138

How can you tell without dividing by 6 that 138 is exactly divisible by 6?

1. Sum of digits (12) is divisible by 3, so number is divisible by 3 2. It's an even number so it's divisible by 2 3. If it's divisible by both 3 and 2 then it's divisible by 3 x 2, ie 6.
