Given a number, I want to check if it is divisible for 3. IF I don't get an integer number I have to add n in order to get (number%3==0). How can I do that?thanks

The Rocky number % 3 will return the remainder of division. So, it will return the value needed to add to the number in order to get number % 3 == 0 to be True. if number % 3 == 0: ... ... # number is divisible by 3 else: # number not divisible by 3 number += number % 3 # now number is divisible by 3 You could also set the remainder to a variable number = int(input()) rem = number % 3 print(f"Adding {rem} to {number} makes it evenly divisible by 3")
