Is 6 a factor of 175?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 175.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 175 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 175 are 1, 5, 7, 25, 35, and 175. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 175?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 175 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 175. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 175.

175 divided by 6 is 29.16666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 175?" is no.
