Test for Divisibility by 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 47: 4+7 = 11
11 is not divisible by 3
Therefore, 47 is NOT divisible by 3
Note: Since 47 is not divisible by 3, it follows that 47 is also not divisible by any multiple of 3 (6, 9, 12, …)
