Is 48 a factor of 48?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 48 is a factor of 48.

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

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 48 by 48 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 48 is a factor of 48. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 48 is not a factor of 48.

48 divided by 48 is 1 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 48 a factor of 48?" is yes.
