All numbers are not divisible by 3. In order to test if a number is a prime, you first test to see if it ends in a 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0. In that case it is divisible by 2 and not a prime. The next number you use for your test is 3. More odd numbers are divisible by 3 than by any other odd number but it is only the second number used for the test. You continue testing until you reach the square root of the number. If the number is only divisible by itself and one, it is prime. 3 is only the second test number in the division test for primes.
