Is 6 a factor of 163?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 163.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 163 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 163 are 1 and 163. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 163?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 163 by 6 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 6 is a factor of 163. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 163.

163 divided by 6 is 27.16666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 163?" is no.
