Is 6 a factor of 6?

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

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

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

6 divided by 6 is 1 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 6?" is yes.
