Is 6 a factor of 872?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 6 is a factor of 872.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 872 and then seeing if 6 is one of them. The factors of 872 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, and 872. Looking at the list, you see that 6 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 872?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 872 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 872. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 6 is not a factor of 872.

872 divided by 6 is 145.3333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 6 a factor of 872?" is no.
