Is 3 a factor of 650?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 650.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 650 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 650 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 25, 26, 50, 65, 130, 325, and 650. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 650?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 650 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 650. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 650.

650 divided by 3 is 216.6666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 650?" is no.
