Is 6 a factor of 174?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 174.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 174 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 174 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, and 174. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 174?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 174 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 174. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 174.

174 divided by 6 is 29 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 174?" is yes.
