Is 3 a factor of 312?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 312.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 312 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 312 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, and 312. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 312?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 312 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 312. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 312.

312 divided by 3 is 104 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 312?" is yes.
