Is 6 a factor of 864?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 864.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 864 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 864 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 72, 96, 108, 144, 216, 288, 432, and 864. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 864?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 864 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 864. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 864.

864 divided by 6 is 144 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 864?" is yes.
