Is 27 a factor of 578?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 27 is a factor of 578.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 578 and then seeing if 27 is one of them. The factors of 578 are 1, 2, 17, 34, 289, and 578. Looking at the list, you see that 27 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 27 a factor of 578?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 578 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 578. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 27 is not a factor of 578.

578 divided by 27 is 21.40740741 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 27 a factor of 578?" is no.
