What is the divisibility rule for 3?
  • Step 1: Take the number you want to check for divisibility by 3.
  • Step 2: Break the number down into its individual digits.
  • Step 3: Add all the digits together to get a sum.
  • Step 4: Check if the sum you calculated is divisible by 3 (this means it can be divided by 3 without leaving a remainder).
