what is the meaning of "less than 1000"? it is only 999?

But I think the 111 can be A too…

Hi Joelene,

You are listing multiples of 6 (which are also multiples of 3) but we need to also list numbers that are multiples of 3 and not of 6:

3, 9, 15, 21, 27, ...

All the numbers in this list are also divisible by 3.
