What is a multiples of 6 number search?

A multiples of 6 number search asks you to locate numbers such as 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, and beyond in a grid of digits. It combines knowledge of both the 2-times and 3-times tables.

How do I know if a number is a multiple of 6?

A number is a multiple of 6 if it is both even (divisible by 2) and its digits sum to a multiple of 3. For instance, 42 is even and 4 + 2 = 6, so 42 is a multiple of 6.

What makes multiples of 6 puzzles a good challenge?
