Is 3 a factor of 125?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 125.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 125 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 125 are 1, 5, 25, and 125. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 125?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 125 by 3 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 is a factor of 125. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 125.

125 divided by 3 is 41.66666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 125?" is no.
