Question

Which of the following numbers is divisible by 3?

• A. 541326
• B. 5967013
• C. 5967019
• D. 558692
• E.

Hint:

Remember, a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Step 2: For 541326:
\[ 5 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 6 = 21 \] Since 21 is divisible by 3, 541326 is divisible by 3. Step 3: Check the sum of digits for other numbers: For 5967013:
\[ 5 + 9 + 6 + 7 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 31 \quad \text{(not divisible by 3)} \] For 5967019: \[ 5 + 9 + 6 + 7 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 37 \quad \text{(not divisible by 3)} \] For 558692: \[ 5 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 9 + 2 = 35 \quad \text{(not divisible by 3)} \] Thus, the correct answer is 541326.
