Add up the digits: 1+7+4 = 8+4 = 12

We can see that 12 is a multiple of 3, so that means 174 is also a multiple of 3
Note: 12's digits add to 1+2 = 3 further confirming that 12 is a multiple of 3

So 174 is divisible by 3. We can divide 174 over 3 and get a whole number result
174/3 = 58 with no decimal portion or remainder.
