Is 27 a factor of 216?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 27 is a factor of 216.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 216 and then seeing if 27 is one of them. The factors of 216 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, and 216. Looking at the list, you see that 27 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 27 a factor of 216?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 216 by 27 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 27 is a factor of 216. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 27 is not a factor of 216.

216 divided by 27 is 8 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 27 a factor of 216?" is yes.
