The following document presents a proof of the Three Divides N theorem
formalised in the Isabelle/Isar theorem proving system.
{\em Theorem}: $3$ divides $n$ if and only if $3$ divides the sum of all
digits in $n$.
{\em Informal Proof}:
Take $n = \sum{n_j * 10^j}$ where $n_j$ is the $j$'th least
significant digit of the decimal denotation of the number n and the
sum ranges over all digits. Then $$ (n - \sum{n_j}) = \sum{n_j * (10^j
- 1)} $$ We know $\forall j\; 3|(10^j - 1) $ and hence $3|LHS$,
therefore $$\forall n\; 3|n \Longleftrightarrow 3|\sum{n_j}$$

We now present the final theorem of this section. For any
sequence of numbers (defined by a function \<^term>‹D :: (nat⇒nat)›),

if and only if 3 divides the sum of the individual numbers
$\sum{D\;x}$.
