Is 24 a factor of 289?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 24 is a factor of 289.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 289 and then seeing if 24 is one of them. The factors of 289 are 1, 17, and 289. Looking at the list, you see that 24 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 24 a factor of 289?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 289 by 24 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 24 is a factor of 289. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 24 is not a factor of 289.

289 divided by 24 is 12.04166667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 24 a factor of 289?" is no.
