Is 21 a factor of 705?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 21 is a factor of 705.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 705 and then seeing if 21 is one of them. The factors of 705 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 47, 141, 235, and 705. Looking at the list, you see that 21 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 21 a factor of 705?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 705 by 21 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 21 is a factor of 705. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 21 is not a factor of 705.

705 divided by 21 is 33.57142857 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 21 a factor of 705?" is no.
