Is 3 a factor of 736?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 736.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 736 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 736 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 32, 46, 92, 184, 368, and 736. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 736?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 736 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 736. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 736.

736 divided by 3 is 245.3333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 736?" is no.
