Is 22 a factor of 157?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 22 is a factor of 157.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 157 and then seeing if 22 is one of them. The factors of 157 are 1 and 157. Looking at the list, you see that 22 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 22 a factor of 157?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 157 by 22 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 22 is a factor of 157. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 22 is not a factor of 157.

157 divided by 22 is 7.136363636 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 22 a factor of 157?" is no.
