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.
What is the largest 3 digit number that is a multiple of 3?
The largest 3-digit number is 999. To check if it is a multiple of 3, you can sum the digits: 9 + 9 + 9 = 27, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 999 is the largest 3-digit number that is a multiple of 3.
How are the divisibility rules for 3 6 and 9 alike?
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3. A number is divisible by 6 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3 and it's even. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 9.
How do you decide if a two digit number is a multiple of a one-digit number?
If the number is even, it is a multiple of 2 If the sum of the digits make a number divisible by 3, the number is a multiple of 3 If the number ends in 5 or 0, the number is a multiple of 5 If the number is divisible by 2 and 3, the number is a multiple of 6 If the sum of the digits make a number divisible by 9, the number is a multiple of 9
Is 531 divisible by 3?
Yes. If the sum of a number's digits add up to 3 (or a multiple of 3) then the number is divisible by 3. 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 : as 9 is a multiple of 3 then 531 is divisible by 3 (177 x 3 = 531). NOTE : A similar process applies to identify if a number is divisible by 9. If the sum of the number's digits add up to 9 (or a multiple of 9) then the number is divisible by 9. 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 : 531 = 59 x 9.
