To be divisible by 6 the number must be divisible by 3 and it must be even. If a base 3 number ends in 0 it is divisible by 3, so this number is divisible by 3. However, to be even, a base 3 number must contain an even number of odd digits, since each digit a n represents the number a n ∗ 3 n , which is only odd if a n is odd, since 3 n is always odd. Since this number has exactly nine odd digits (or one's) this number is odd, therefore it doesn't divide by 6.
