Is 4 a factor of 36?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 4 is a factor of 36.

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

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 36 by 4 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 is a factor of 36. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 4 is not a factor of 36.

36 divided by 4 is 9 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 36?" is yes.
