Is 3 a factor of 324?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 324.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 324 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 324 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, and 324. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 324?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 324 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 324. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 324.

324 divided by 3 is 108 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 324?" is yes.
