Is 3 a factor of 960?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 960.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 960 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 960 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, and 960. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 960?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 960 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 960. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 960.

960 divided by 3 is 320 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 960?" is yes.
