51 --> 5+1 = 6, 6 is divisible by 3. This means that 51 is divisible by 3.

60 is divisible by 3, 60/3 = 20.

51 is 9 less than 60. 9 is divisible by 3. 9/3 = 3.

20 - 3 = 17.

Is this a real divisibility rule?

Divisibility by 3 rule is real. If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then the number itself is also divisible by 3. Same goes with 9. There’s an 11 rule, but it’s a bit convoluted.

There’s also a rule 34, but it’s super advanced.
