Every number is divisible by 9 but the answer wont necessarily be a whole number.
If a number is not divisible by 3 then it is not divisible by 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.
If a number is even, it's divisible by two. If the digits of a number add up to a multiple of 3, it's a multiple of 3. For example, 342 is divisible by 3 because 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 and 9 is divisible by 3.
add all digits in a number together over and over until you can't anymore and if that's divisible by three the whole number is divisible by three. eg: is 324 divisible by three? let's find out. 3+2+4=? 3 2 +4 ___ 9 and since 9 is divisible by three so is 324. same rule applies with 9.
