In order to tell whether a number is a multiple of 3:
- Start with a number N.
- Sum the digits of the number, and get M.
- If M is larger than 10, set N=M and return to stage 2.
- Otherwise, M is now smaller than 10. If M is 0,3,6 or 9, then N is a multiple of 3
A few examples:
924 => 15 => 6, therefore 924 is a multiple of 3.
974 => 20 => 2, therefore 974 is not a multiple of 3.

What number is divisible by 6 but not 3?
A number that is divisible by 6 but not by 3 must be a multiple of 6 that is not a multiple of 3. Since 6 is a multiple of 3 (6 = 2 * 3), any multiple of 6 will also be a multiple of 3. Therefore, there is no number that is divisible by 6 but not by 3.
How do you find out if a number is a multiple of 3?
you add up the digits, and if the sum is a multiple of 3, then the number is divisible by 3!
Which number is a multiple of 3 and 6?
Any multiple of 6 is a multiple of 3 and 6.
What number is 9 a multiple of?
9 is a multiple of 3. It is 3 x 3.
What is the third multiple of 3?
The third multiple of 3 can be calculated by multiplying 3 by 3, which equals 9. In this case, the third multiple of 3 is 9. In general, to find the nth multiple of a number, you would multiply the number by n.
