Is 63 a factor of 252?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 63 is a factor of 252.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 252 and then seeing if 63 is one of them. The factors of 252 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, and 252. Looking at the list, you see that 63 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 63 a factor of 252?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 252 by 63 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 63 is a factor of 252. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 63 is not a factor of 252.

252 divided by 63 is 4 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 63 a factor of 252?" is yes.
