Given Number: 43
Test a Number for Divisibility by Three (3):
• A Number is divisible by 3 if the Sum of the Digits in the Number is divisible by 3
Sum of the Digits in 43: 4+3 = 7
7 is not divisible by 3
Therefore, 43 is NOT divisible by 3
Note: Since 43 is not divisible by 3, it follows that 43 is also not divisible by any multiple of 3 (6, 9, 12, …)
