minus-squarePrime_Minister_Keyes@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up23·3 months agoWell, on the surface, it’s just 60-3, so clearly divisible by 3 itself. Now 221, that’s some fuckery.
minus-squareAlenalda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoWhen I was young I learned that when you add up all the numbers if that number is a multiple of 3 than the original number is also divisible by 3. So 51, 5+1=6 and 6 divisible by 3 and so must 51.
