what is the relationship between numbers divisible by 9 and 3?
Every number divisible by 9 is divisible by 3. For example, 7425 is divisible by 9, hence it is divisible by 3. However, a number divisible by 3 is not necessarily divisible by 9. For example 6, 12, 15, 21, 24, 30 are all divisible by 3 but none of them is divisible by 9.
