According to the divisibility of 3, if the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3 then the number is divisible by 3.

  1. 261 = 2 + 6 + 1 = 9. And 9 is divisible by 3

  2. 777 = 7 + 7 + 7 = 21. And 21 is divisible by 3

  3. 6657 = 6 + 6 + 5 + 7 = 24. And 24 is divisible by 3

Hence, all the three numbers, 261, 777 and 6657 are divisible by 3.
