Is 3 a factor of 824?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 824.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 824 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 824 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 103, 206, 412, and 824. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 824?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 824 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 824. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 824.

824 divided by 3 is 274.6666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 824?" is no.
