Is 32 a factor of 996?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 32 is a factor of 996.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 996 and then seeing if 32 is one of them. The factors of 996 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, and 996. Looking at the list, you see that 32 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 32 a factor of 996?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 996 by 32 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 32 is a factor of 996. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 32 is not a factor of 996.

996 divided by 32 is 31.125 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 32 a factor of 996?" is no.
