Is 27 a factor of 233?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 27 is a factor of 233.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 233 and then seeing if 27 is one of them. The factors of 233 are 1 and 233. Looking at the list, you see that 27 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 27 a factor of 233?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 233 by 27 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 27 is a factor of 233. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 27 is not a factor of 233.

233 divided by 27 is 8.62962963 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 27 a factor of 233?" is no.
