Is 6 a factor of 870?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 870.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 870 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 870 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 29, 30, 58, 87, 145, 174, 290, 435, and 870. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 870?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 870 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 870. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 870.

870 divided by 6 is 145 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 870?" is yes.
