Is 28 a factor of 857?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 28 is a factor of 857.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 857 and then seeing if 28 is one of them. The factors of 857 are 1 and 857. Looking at the list, you see that 28 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 28 a factor of 857?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 857 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 857. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 28 is not a factor of 857.

857 divided by 28 is 30.60714286 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 28 a factor of 857?" is no.
