Is 3 a factor of 132?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 132.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 132 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 132 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, and 132. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 132?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 132 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 132. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 132.

132 divided by 3 is 44 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 132?" is yes.
