Is 3 a factor of 966?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 3 is a factor of 966.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 966 and then seeing if 3 is one of them. The factors of 966 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 23, 42, 46, 69, 138, 161, 322, 483, and 966. Looking at the list, you see that 3 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 966?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 966 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 966. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 3 is not a factor of 966.

966 divided by 3 is 322 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 3 a factor of 966?" is yes.
