Is 12 a factor of 224?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 12 is a factor of 224.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 224 and then seeing if 12 is one of them. The factors of 224 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, and 224. Looking at the list, you see that 12 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 12 a factor of 224?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 224 by 12 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 12 is a factor of 224. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 12 is not a factor of 224.

224 divided by 12 is 18.66666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 12 a factor of 224?" is no.
