how to divide a number by 3 without using * / %
I actually got asked this once at an interview... just like multiplication
is a sequential addition, division is a sequential subtraction. So you can
use the subtraction operator and count how many times you can subtract three
from you number until you get to a number below three (this is the
remainder).
