Given Number: 175
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 175: 1+7+5 = 13
13 is not divisible by 3
Therefore, 175 is NOT divisible by 3
Note: Since 175 is not divisible by 3, it follows that 175 is also not divisible by any multiple of 3 (6, 9, 12, …)
