Is 6 a factor of 24?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 24.

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

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 24 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 24. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 24.

24 divided by 6 is 4 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 24?" is yes.
