CISCE: Class 6
Rule
If the sum of the digits in a number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 6
Step-by-Step Explanation
CISCE: Class 6
Examples
Consider the number 645
The sum of its digits is 6 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 is divisible by 3.
=> The number 645 is divisible by 3.
Checking Divisibility by 3 Using the Sum of Digits:
| Number | Sum of the digits in the number |
Is the sum divisible By 3? |
Is the given number Divisible by 3? |
| 63 | 6 + 3 = 9 | ✔ | ✔ |
| 872 | 17 | X | X |
| 91 | 10 | X | X |
| 552 | 12 | ✔ | ✔ |
| 9336 | 21 | ✔ | ✔ |
| 4527 | 18 | ✔ | ✔ |
CISCE: Class 6
Real-Life Application
Suppose you have 333 chocolates and want to share them equally among 3 friends.
-
Add the digits: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
-
9 is a multiple of 3
→ Each friend will receive 111 chocolates.
CISCE: Class 6
Key Points Summary
To check divisibility by 3:
-
Add all digits of the number.
-
If the total is a multiple of 3, it’s divisible by 3.
Example Question 1
Check the divisibility of 2146587 by 3.
The sum of the digits of 2146587 is 2 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 8 + 7 = 33.
This number is divisible by 3 (for 33 ÷ 3 = 11).
We conclude that 2146587 is divisible by 3.
Example Question 2
Check the divisibility of 15287 by 3.
The sum of the digits of 15287 is 1 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 7 = 23.
This number is not divisible by 3.
We conclude that 15287 too is not divisible by 3.
