Just divide all of those numbers by six, and you know which one is the right one, because the answer will be a whole Number.
whole number= 6, or 7, or 10
opposite= 6.5, or 10.6, or 15.864

if a number is a multipule of 6 then it is a multiplule of 2 AND 3

if a number is a multiplule of 2 then the last digit should be divisible by 2 (ie, 0,2,4,6,8)

if a number is divisible by 3, then the sum of its digits is divisble by 3
try each

A. 333
last number is not divisible by 2 so not divisible by 6
