Please explain one way to find the limiting reactant in words or with math work, given '3 moles of Chemical A2T3 and 6 moles of Mg' in the following reaction.

A2T3 + 3 Mg --> 2 A + 3 MgT

What is (1) dividing the moles of each reactant by its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation to determine how many times the reaction could be completed with how much of each reactant is given. (2) Calculate theoretical yield of the same product (in moles or grams) from both given reactant values and compare product amounts. (3) Find the amount of each reactant needed to completely use up the other reactant. Disregard the scenario that requires more of a reactant than is actually present.
