Is 6 a factor of 496?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 496.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 496 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 496 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, and 496. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 496?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 496 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 496. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 496.

496 divided by 6 is 82.66666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 496?" is no.
