Is 60 a factor of 720?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 60 is a factor of 720.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 720 and then seeing if 60 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 60 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 720?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 720 by 60 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 60 is a factor of 720. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 60 is not a factor of 720.

720 divided by 60 is 12 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 720?" is yes.
