Is 3 a factor of 832?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 832.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 832 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 832 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 64, 104, 208, 416, and 832. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 832?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 832 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 832. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 832.

832 divided by 3 is 277.3333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 832?" is no.
