no
No, 310 not divisible by 3.
Is it divisible by 3? If it is, the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. Is it ALSO divisible by 2? All even numbers are divisible by 2
If you'd read that in the last two questions, you'd know how to answer this already.
what about 558?
310/(3*2)
Use the exact same questions as above!
310 ÷ 6 = 51 2/3
Is 558 divisible by 3? If it is, the sum of the digits (5+5+8) is divisible by 3. Is 558 ALSO divisible by 2? All even numbers are divisible by 2
558 is divisable by 6 which is 93 times.
No, it would be 51.66 if your tried dividing by 6 and 103.3 if you tried dividing by 3.
If you read what I've now posted four times, you won't ever need to wonder again if a number is divisible by 6.
5+5+8 = 18. 18 is divisible by 3. 558 is even, and is divisible by 2. If a number is divisible by both 3 and 2, it's divisible by 6.
