Is 17 a factor of 561?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 17 is a factor of 561.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 561 and then seeing if 17 is one of them. The factors of 561 are 1, 3, 11, 17, 33, 51, 187, and 561. Looking at the list, you see that 17 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 17 a factor of 561?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 561 by 17 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 17 is a factor of 561. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 17 is not a factor of 561.

561 divided by 17 is 33 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 17 a factor of 561?" is yes.
