Is 3 a factor of 308?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 308.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 308 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 308 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 77, 154, and 308. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 308?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 308 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 308. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 308.

308 divided by 3 is 102.6666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 308?" is no.
