remainder when x divided by 6

From statement 1:
When x is divided by 2 remainder is 1, so its a odd number -- 3,5,7....
When x is divided by 3 remainder is 0, so that means its a odd number divisible by 3 ... 3,9,15

when 9/6 -- remainder is 3
when 15/6 -- remainder is 3
whats the remainder when 3/6 ??? is there a rule that I need to follow when a small number is divided by larger number?

statement B is sufficient
