Is 14 a factor of 284?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 14 is a factor of 284.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 284 and then seeing if 14 is one of them. The factors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, and 284. Looking at the list, you see that 14 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 14 a factor of 284?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 284 by 14 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 14 is a factor of 284. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 14 is not a factor of 284.

284 divided by 14 is 20.28571429 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 14 a factor of 284?" is no.
