Is 3 a factor of 198?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 198.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 198 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 198 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99, and 198. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 198?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 198 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 198. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 198.

198 divided by 3 is 66 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 198?" is yes.
