Is 3 a factor of 468?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 468.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 468 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 468 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, and 468. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 468?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 468 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 468. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 468.

468 divided by 3 is 156 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 468?" is yes.
