Is 3 a factor of 820?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 820.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 820 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 820 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 41, 82, 164, 205, 410, and 820. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 820?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 820 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 820. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 820.

820 divided by 3 is 273.3333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 820?" is no.
