What is a counter example of the following conjecture? Any number that is divisible by three is also divisible by six A. 36 B. 27 C. 23 D. 18

HelpMePlz:

I'm going with 27

Champion:

Yes that's correct. An integer is divisible by six (6) if and only if it is divisible by 3 AND by 2. Since 27 is divisible by three and not by two, 27 is a counter example, and the only one among the four options, of the given statement: `Any number that is divisible by three is also divisible by six`
