Given Number: 1,493
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 1,493: 1+4+9+3 = 17
17 is not divisible by 3
Therefore, 1,493 is NOT divisible by 3
Note: Since 1,493 is not divisible by 3, it follows that 1,493 is also not divisible by any multiple of 3 (6, 9, 12, …)
