Is 10 a factor of 257?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 10 is a factor of 257.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 257 and then seeing if 10 is one of them. The factors of 257 are 1 and 257. Looking at the list, you see that 10 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 10 a factor of 257?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 257 by 10 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 10 is a factor of 257. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 10 is not a factor of 257.

257 divided by 10 is 25.7 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 10 a factor of 257?" is no.
