Is 2 a multiple of 3?


When you are asking the question "Is 2 a multiple of 3?", you want to know if 2 is one of the multiples of 3. Thus, to find the answer, we can look at all the multiples of 3 and see if one of them is 2. However, instead of making a long list of multiples, we will explain a fast and easy way to get the answer.

First, note that if we were to create a list of multiples of 3, we first multiply 3 by 1, then we multiply 3 by 2, then multiply 3 by 3, and so on indefinitely. In other words, 3 multiplied by any whole number is a multiple of 3. On the flip side, this means that any multiple of 3 divided by 3 will equal a whole number.

Therefore, you can check if 2 is a multiple of 3 by simply dividing 2 by 3. If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 is a multiple of 3.

2 divided by 3 is 0.666666667. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number, therefore, 2 is not a multiple of 3.
