333 is attained by multiplying the primes 3 and 37 as follows: 3 X 3 X 37 = 333. If we break down the multiplication into pairs, 3 X 3 = 9, and interestingly 3 X 37 = 111. The total number of divisors into 333 are 1, 3, 9, 37, 111, 333 which total six divisors, with 6 being a multiple of 3.

In ESoteric numerology there are only 3 prime numbers: 3, 5, and 7, all of which are odd. (This is because in ESoteric numerology only 9 numbers exist.) When we add 3+6+9 we get 15, which adds to 6. When we miltiply 3X5X7 we get 15 which again reduces to 6. When we start with 3, then subtrract 5 we get -2, then when we subtract 7 we get -9.

Three numbers have 3 letters: one, two, six, and when we add 1+2+6 we get 9.
