take 6344 the last two number is 44 it is divisible by 4 
take 42b8 last two digits are b8 if it is divisible by 4 the b should be 2,4,6,8 
checking the divisibility of 3
6344 = 6+3+4+4=17 it is not divisible by 3 
so 42b8 should be divisible by 3
4+2+b+8=14+b
14+b divisible by 3
if b=2
16 it is not divisible by 3
if b=4
18 it is divisible by 3
