Is 12 a factor of 876?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 12 is a factor of 876.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 876 and then seeing if 12 is one of them. The factors of 876 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 73, 146, 219, 292, 438, and 876. Looking at the list, you see that 12 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 12 a factor of 876?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 876 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 876. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 12 is not a factor of 876.

876 divided by 12 is 73 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 12 a factor of 876?" is yes.
