Is 20 a factor of 73?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 20 is a factor of 73.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 73 and then seeing if 20 is one of them. The factors of 73 are 1 and 73. Looking at the list, you see that 20 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 20 a factor of 73?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 73 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 73. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 20 is not a factor of 73.

73 divided by 20 is 3.65 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 20 a factor of 73?" is no.
