Is 6 a factor of 512?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 512.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 512 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 512 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 512?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 512 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 512. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 512.

512 divided by 6 is 85.33333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 512?" is no.
