Is 28 a factor of 470?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 28 is a factor of 470.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 470 and then seeing if 28 is one of them. The factors of 470 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, and 470. Looking at the list, you see that 28 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 28 a factor of 470?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 470 by 28 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 28 is a factor of 470. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 28 is not a factor of 470.

470 divided by 28 is 16.78571429 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 28 a factor of 470?" is no.
