FAQs

 

1. How to Find the Factors of 27?

Start with 1 × 27 = 27 and 3 × 9 = 27.

Factors of 27: 1, 3, 9, 27.

27 is an odd number, so even numbers like 2 and 4 can't divide it.

 2. Is 27 a Factor of 6?

No, 27 is not a factor of 6 because 6 ÷ 27 = 0.22, which isn't a whole number. Only smaller or equal numbers can be factors unless they're multiples.

3. What is the Factor Tree of 27?

A factor tree breaks a number into primes.
Start with 27 → 3 × 9, then 9 → 3 × 3.
So, the prime factors of 27 are 3 × 3 × 3 = 3³.
