Is 6 a factor of 558?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 558.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 558 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 558 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 31, 62, 93, 186, 279, and 558. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 558?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 558 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 558. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 558.

558 divided by 6 is 93 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 558?" is yes.
