Is 17 a factor of 565?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 17 is a factor of 565.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 565 and then seeing if 17 is one of them. The factors of 565 are 1, 5, 113, and 565. Looking at the list, you see that 17 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 17 a factor of 565?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 565 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 565. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 17 is not a factor of 565.

565 divided by 17 is 33.23529412 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 17 a factor of 565?" is no.
