Is 14 a factor of 496?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 14 is a factor of 496.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 496 and then seeing if 14 is one of them. The factors of 496 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, and 496. Looking at the list, you see that 14 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 14 a factor of 496?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 496 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 496. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 14 is not a factor of 496.

496 divided by 14 is 35.42857143 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 14 a factor of 496?" is no.
