Divisibility if a number by 3 is not determined by its last digits: instead it is determined by the number's digital root.
You get the digital root of a number by adding together all its digits. If the answer is a big number, then find the digital root of the answer. Keep going until you have a number that is smaller than 10. If this number is 3, 6 or 9 (all divisible by 3) then the original number is divisible by 3. And it not, it is not.

What are the divisibility rules for 1 2 3 4 5 6 9 and 10?
All whole numbers are divisible by 1. Numbers are divisible by 2 if they end in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0. Numbers are divisible by 3 if the sum of their digits is divisible by 3. Numbers are divisible by 4 if the last two digits of the number are divisible by 4. Numbers are divisible by 5 if the last digit of the number is either 5 or 0. Numbers are divisible by 6 if they are divisible by 2 and 3. Numbers are divisible by 9 if the sum of their digits is equal to 9 or a multiple of 9. Numbers are divisible by 10 if the last digit of the number is 0.
What are all even numbers that are divisible by three?
Even numbers are divisible by 2. Even numbers that are divisible by 3 must be divisible by 2 and by 3, so they have to be divisible by 2 x 3.6, 12, 18, 24 …
What are the divisibility rules for numbers 4 6 and 8?
For 4:Are the last two digits in your number divisible by 4? If so, the number is too! For example: 358912 ends in 12 which is divisible by 4, thus so is 358912. For 6: The number must be divisible by 2 and 3. For 8: This one's not as easy, if the last 3 digits are divisible by 8, so is the entire number. Example: 6008 - The last 3 digits are divisible by 8, therefore, so is 6008.
What numbers are divisible by 3 but not 2?
For starters, the number 3 is divisible by 3 but not by 2. Next, 9, 27 etc. All the odd multiples of 3 are divisible by 3 but not 2. So there is an infinite number of numbers that are divisible by 3 and not 2.
What is a 4 digit number that is divisible 3 and 9?
All 4 digit numbers that are divisible by 9 are also divisible by 3. The first is 1008 and the last is 9999.
