The divisibility rules for 3 and 9 are as follows: • Add the digits in the number that you are dividing together • Ex. 876 453 • 8+7+6+4+5+3= 33 • Add the digits of the sum again until it becomes a one digit number • 3+3=6 • Determine if 3 is a factor of the sum • 6/3=2 • Determine if 9 is a factor of the sum • 6 is not divisible by 9 • Therefore, the number 876 453 by 3 but not 9
Example #1 • Determine whether the number 462 893 112 is divisible by 3 or 9 • Solution: • 4+6+2+8+9+3+1+1+2= 36 • 3+6=9 • 9/3= 1 • The number 462 893 112 is divisible by 3 and 9
Example #2 • Determine whether 478 374 297 is divisible by 3 or 9 • Solution: • 4+7+8+3+7+4+2+9+7= 51 • 5+1=6 • 6/3= 2 • 6 is not divisible by 9
