If a number is evenly divisible by 9, it's automatically evenly divisible by 3, so don't worry about the 3.
So, what's the first number larger than 100 that's evenly divisible by 9.
Remember your multiplication tables? 9 x 12 = 108 and there's your answer.
Whoever said 107 should not be posting answers without also posting the work to get there.
