Only if you weren't taught (or were, but too long ago lol) the divisible by 3 rule - if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, so is the whole number. 5+1=6 therefore 51 is divisible by 3! Bonus division rule - if it was also an even number and therefore divisible by 2, you could deduce that the whole number was divisible by 6.
