Show that any natural number has the same remainder when divided by \(3\) as the sum of its digits.

Tim had more hazelnuts than Tom. If Tim gave Tom as many hazelnuts as Tom already had, Tim and Tom would have the same number of hazelnuts. Instead, Tim gave Tom only a few hazelnuts (no more than five) and divided his remaining hazelnuts equally between \(3\) squirrels. How many hazelnuts did Tim give to Tom?
