Is 3 a factor of 343?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 343.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 343 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 343 are 1, 7, 49, and 343. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 343?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 343 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 343. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 343.

343 divided by 3 is 114.3333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 343?" is no.
