Is 20 a factor of 262?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 20 is a factor of 262.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 262 and then seeing if 20 is one of them. The factors of 262 are 1, 2, 131, and 262. Looking at the list, you see that 20 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 20 a factor of 262?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 262 by 20 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 20 is a factor of 262. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 20 is not a factor of 262.

262 divided by 20 is 13.1 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 20 a factor of 262?" is no.
