Is 3 a factor of 560?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 560.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 560 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 560 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 80, 112, 140, 280, and 560. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 560?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 560 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 560. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 560.

560 divided by 3 is 186.6666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 560?" is no.
