Is 3 a factor of 952?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 952.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 952 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 952 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, and 952. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 952?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 952 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 952. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 952.

952 divided by 3 is 317.3333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 952?" is no.
