( NOTE : Zero is a multiple of every integer (except zero itself) There are total 81 numbers... -40 to -1 = 40 and 1 to 40 = 40 and zero...we get 81. 81/3 = 27. Option E.

We can use the formula:

(largest multiple of 3 - smallest multiple of 3)/3 + 1

[(39 - (-39)]/3 + 1 = 78/3 + 1 = 26 + 1 = 27

Answer: E
