Is 23 a factor of 359?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 23 is a factor of 359.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 359 and then seeing if 23 is one of them. The factors of 359 are 1 and 359. Looking at the list, you see that 23 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 23 a factor of 359?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 359 by 23 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 23 is a factor of 359. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 23 is not a factor of 359.

359 divided by 23 is 15.60869565 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 23 a factor of 359?" is no.
