No. Add the digits of the dividend and if that is divisible by 3 then the original number is divisible by 3; if not, its remainder when divided by 3 gives the remainder when the original number is divided by 3: 1 + 2 + 1 = 4 which gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, so 121 divided by 3 gives a remainder of 1. (121 = 40 x 3 + 1)
