Is 3 a factor of 805?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 805.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 805 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 805 are 1, 5, 7, 23, 35, 115, 161, and 805. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 805?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 805 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 805. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 805.

805 divided by 3 is 268.3333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 805?" is no.
