Is 22 a factor of 161?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 22 is a factor of 161.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 161 and then seeing if 22 is one of them. The factors of 161 are 1, 7, 23, and 161. Looking at the list, you see that 22 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 22 a factor of 161?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 161 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 161. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 22 is not a factor of 161.

161 divided by 22 is 7.318181818 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 22 a factor of 161?" is no.
