To calculate reminder on dividing the number by 3

Maths Tricks , short cut tricks for maths to make calculation easy and fast

To calculate reminder on dividing the number by 3 Method:- first calculate the digit sum , then divide it by 3, the reminder in this case will be the required reminder example:- 1342568 let the number is as written above its digit sum = 29 = 11 = 2 so reminder will be 2: Example.
Take some others
34259677858
digit sum of the number is 64 = 10 = 1
reminder is 1

similarly let the number is 54670329845
then digit sum = 53 = 8
when we divide 8 by 3 we get reminder as 2 so answer will be 2; Is this maths trick helpful? (3439) (1161) Post / Read comment (9)

here we can make another solution also
A remainder is obtained when first digit sum is divisible by 3
that is our required solution
For eg: 34259677858
digit sum of the number is 64
Here remainder is 1 when it is divisible by 3
So perhaps 1 is our ans

the remainder solution is very useful. i understanding this solution.
i make it another example is:
3456321879458
digit sum of the number is 65
the remainder is 2 when it is divisible by 3
so the answer is 2.

To find the remainder we can also do the single digit sum of the given number.
Let me explain what is single digit sum.I am explaining this because finding the total sum of the number is little bit uneasy.
Now consider a number 785469
now start from any
