Given Number: 16,339
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 16,339: 1+6+3+3+9 = 22
22 is not divisible by 3
Therefore, 16,339 is NOT divisible by 3
Note: Since 16,339 is not divisible by 3, it follows that 16,339 is also not divisible by any multiple of 3 (6, 9, 12, …)
