Is 29 a factor of 551?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 29 is a factor of 551.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 551 and then seeing if 29 is one of them. The factors of 551 are 1, 19, 29, and 551. Looking at the list, you see that 29 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 29 a factor of 551?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 551 by 29 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 29 is a factor of 551. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 29 is not a factor of 551.

551 divided by 29 is 19 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 29 a factor of 551?" is yes.
