Any number which is divisible by 9 contains digits which, when added together, are equal to 9 or a multiple of 9. For example, 63 is divisible by 9 because 6 + 3 = 9. 288 is divisible by 9 because 2 + 8 + 8 = 18 and 18/9 = 2.

What largest 3 - digit number divisible by both 6 and 9?

999 is divisible by 9, but not by six; the next lower number divisible by 9 is 990, which is also divisible by 6, so that's the answer. Some shortcuts for divisibility: 0 is divisible by any number. If the last digit of a number is divisible by 2, the number itself is divisible by 2. If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, the number itself is divisible by 3. If the last TWO digits of a number are divisible by 4, the number itself is divisible by 4. If the last digit of a number is divisible by 5, the number itself is divisible by 5. If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6. If the last THREE digits of a number are divisible by 8, the number itself is divisible by 8. If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, the number itself is divisible by 9. 990: 9+9+0=18, which is divisible by 9, so 990 is divisible by 9. 18 is also divisible by 3, so 990 is divisible by 3, and since 990 ends in 0 it's also divisible by 2, meaning that it's divisible by 6 as well.

Does 3 go into 54?

Yes, 18 times 3 = 54. There is a very easy way to tell if a number is divisible by 3. Add up the digits in the number. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3. For example, 5 + 4 = 9, and 9 is obviously divisible by 3. So, 54 is too.
