Is 18 a factor of 196?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 18 is a factor of 196.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 196 and then seeing if 18 is one of them. The factors of 196 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, and 196. Looking at the list, you see that 18 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 18 a factor of 196?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 196 by 18 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 18 is a factor of 196. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 18 is not a factor of 196.

196 divided by 18 is 10.88888889 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 18 a factor of 196?" is no.
