Is 3 a factor of 300?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 300.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 300 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 300 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, and 300. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 300?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 300 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 300. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 300.

300 divided by 3 is 100 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 300?" is yes.
