How to learn and memorize multiples of 3
In multiples of 3, we count triplets, i.e. groups of 3.
For example, 4×3 equals 4 times 3
4×3 = 3+3+3+3 = 12
How do you easily calculate multiples of 3?
Method 1: Any number times 3 is equal to 3 times the same number.
for example,
6×3=6+6+6=18
Method 2: When you want to calculate a number multiple of 3, raise your fingers according to the number shown in the exercise and count 3 numbers to each finger. The last number we reached in the count is the result.
For example, to calculate 4×3, you hold up 4 fingers and start counting like this: 1, 2, 3 for the first finger, 4, 5, 6 for the second finger, 7, 8, 9 for the third finger, 10, 11, 12 for the last finger. We reached 12 and this is the answer.
Interesting to know
Multiples of 3 are numbers whose sum of digits is divisible by 3. This fact can be used to know whether any number is a multiple of 3 or not. For example, the sum of the digits of the number 102 is 1+0+2=3. Therefore, the number 102 is a multiple of 3.
