Is 3 a factor of 696?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 696.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 696 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 696 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, and 696. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 696?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 696 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 696. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 696.

696 divided by 3 is 232 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 696?" is yes.
