51 --> 5+1 = 6, 6 is divisible by 3. This means that 51 is divisible by 3.

60 is divisible by 3, 60/3 = 20.

51 is 9 less than 60. 9 is divisible by 3. 9/3 = 3.

20 - 3 = 17.

Only way I managed it to make sense is:

17 is 10 and 7

10 * 3 = 30

7 * 3 = 21

30 + 21 = 51

Phuu air. I can breath again. Don't do this to me.

This is how I see it, 30 + 21, doesn’t come up that often obviously, but also we don’t have to love every composite number. In fact, we hates most of them. Add 51 to the pile.
