How do I make the second return for the second method work?

I'm trying to make the by_three? method return false for all numbers not evenly divisible by three:

def greeter(name)
    return 'hi there ' + name
end 

def by_three?(number)
    return true if number/3 
    return false if number !=/3
end

First of all, you do not need return statement in your case. Ruby methods automatically return the value of the last statement. return is only needed when breaking out of the method early. In your case, it would be:

def divisible? number, divisor
  number % divisor == 0
end

def divisible_by_three? number
  divisible? number, 3
end

You need the modulo operator %:

def by_three?(number)
  if number % 3 == 0
    return true
  else  
    return false 
  end 
end
