Is 6 a factor of 720?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 720.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 720 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 720 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, and 720. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 720?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 720 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 720. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 720.

720 divided by 6 is 120 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 720?" is yes.
