Best Answer

First you add up all of the digit's, and then divide. If 6 fits in it, then 3 also fits in it, but not 9. (For ex. Is 6 a factor of 674. 6+7+4=17, 17/6=2.8. so no, 6 is not a factor of 674)

If your number is even and divisible by three, it's divisible by 6.

What is a composite number that is a factor of 6?

The only composite number which is a factor of 6 is 6 itself.


Is 6 a factor of 3?

No, 6 is not a factor of 3. A factor of a number is a whole number that can be multiplied to give the original number. In this case, 6 cannot be multiplied by any whole number to give 3, so 6 is not a factor of 3.


Is 6 a factor of 492 explain how you know?

Yes, 6 is a factor of 492. If you divide 492 by 6 you get 82 with no remainder. The fact that there was no remainder means that the first number is a factor of the second number. Taking this to the obvious conclusion; the prime factors of 492 are 2, 2, 3, and 41. 6 is 2 times 3, so it is a non prime factor, but it is a factor nontheless.


What is these number have6 as a factor?

Any multiple of 6 has 6 as a factor.


What is the highest common factor of 6 and 36?

The highest common factor of two numbers is always equal to the smallest number if that number is a factor of the larger number. This is the case here. Since 6 is a factor of 36, 6 is the highest common factor of 6 and 36.

How are factors of a number different from the multiples of a number?

Factors divide into a number. A number divides into multiples. 3 is a factor of 6. 12 is a multiple of 6. 6 is both a factor and a multiple of 6.


How can you know if 6 is a factor of 78?

For a number to be divisible by 6, it has to be divisible by 2 and 3, because 2*3=6.In other words, we could divide the number we're factorising (78) by the prime factors of the number we're testing (6, which is 2*3). We start by dividing by 2, because we know 78 is even: 78/2=39. Then, we divide the new number by the other prime factor - 3. 39/3=13 13 is a whole number with no remainders, therefore we can say that 78 is divisible by 6, and therefore 6 is a factor of 78. (6*13=78)
