Is 36 a factor of 144?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 36 is a factor of 144.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 144 and then seeing if 36 is one of them. The factors of 144 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 144. Looking at the list, you see that 36 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 36 a factor of 144?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 144 by 36 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 36 is a factor of 144. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 36 is not a factor of 144.

144 divided by 36 is 4 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 36 a factor of 144?" is yes.
