Is 10 a factor of 62?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 10 is a factor of 62.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 62 and then seeing if 10 is one of them. The factors of 62 are 1, 2, 31, and 62. Looking at the list, you see that 10 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 10 a factor of 62?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 62 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 62. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 10 is not a factor of 62.

62 divided by 10 is 6.2 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 10 a factor of 62?" is no.
