Is 8 a factor of 126?


Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 8 is a factor of 126.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 126 and then seeing if 8 is one of them. The factors of 126 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, and 126. Looking at the list, you see that 8 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 126?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 126 by 8 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 8 is a factor of 126. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 8 is not a factor of 126.

126 divided by 8 is 15.75 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 126?" is no.
