Is 23 a factor of 971?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 23 is a factor of 971.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 971 and then seeing if 23 is one of them. The factors of 971 are 1 and 971. Looking at the list, you see that 23 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 23 a factor of 971?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 971 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 971. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 23 is not a factor of 971.

971 divided by 23 is 42.2173913 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 23 a factor of 971?" is no.
