Is 3 a factor of 957?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 957.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 957 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 957 are 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, and 957. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 957?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 957 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 957. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 957.

957 divided by 3 is 319 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 957?" is yes.
