Is 14 a factor of 285?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 14 is a factor of 285.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 285 and then seeing if 14 is one of them. The factors of 285 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 57, 95, and 285. Looking at the list, you see that 14 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 14 a factor of 285?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 285 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 285. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 14 is not a factor of 285.

285 divided by 14 is 20.35714286 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 14 a factor of 285?" is no.
