Is 3 a factor of 127?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 127.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 127 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 127 are 1 and 127. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 127?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 127 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 127. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 127.

127 divided by 3 is 42.33333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 127?" is no.
