Is 26 a factor of 988?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 26 is a factor of 988.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 988 and then seeing if 26 is one of them. The factors of 988 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, and 988. Looking at the list, you see that 26 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 26 a factor of 988?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 988 by 26 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 26 is a factor of 988. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 26 is not a factor of 988.

988 divided by 26 is 38 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 26 a factor of 988?" is yes.
