Is 12 a factor of 184?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 12 is a factor of 184.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 184 and then seeing if 12 is one of them. The factors of 184 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, and 184. Looking at the list, you see that 12 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 12 a factor of 184?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 184 by 12 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 12 is a factor of 184. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 12 is not a factor of 184.

184 divided by 12 is 15.33333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 12 a factor of 184?" is no.
