Question

What is the largest $3$ digit number exactly divisible by $3$?

• A. $972$
• B. $990$
• C. $996$
• D. $993$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$996$

We know the divisibility rule for $3$:
If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by $3$, then the number is also divisible by $3$.
Here, $9+9+6=24$ is multiple of $3$.
So, $996$ is the largest number divisible by $3$.

So, option C is correct.
