Is 23 a factor of 442?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 23 is a factor of 442.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 442 and then seeing if 23 is one of them. The factors of 442 are 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, and 442. Looking at the list, you see that 23 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 23 a factor of 442?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 442 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 442. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 23 is not a factor of 442.

442 divided by 23 is 19.2173913 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 23 a factor of 442?" is no.
