In KS3 Maths Times Tables, the 3 times table builds fluency with multiplication and division. Knowing facts like 3 × 7 = 21 helps with factors, multiples, and checking divisibility in larger problems.

  • Multiple: A number in a times table; for 3 it’s 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, …
  • Factor: A number that divides another exactly; 3 is a factor of 21 because 21 ÷ 3 = 7.
  • Divisibility rule for 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3.

What is the quickest way to learn the 3 times table?

Count in threes and use anchors: 3, 6, 9, 12… Memorise 3 × 5 = 15 and 3 × 10 = 30, then fill the gaps.

How do I use the 3 times table for bigger numbers?

Break apart numbers. Example: 3 × 47 = 3 × (40 + 7) = 120 + 21 = 141. This is the distributive law.

How can I check if a number is divisible by 3?

Add its digits. If the total is a multiple of 3, the number is divisible by 3. Example: 4+8+2=14 (not), 3+6+9=18 (yes).
