Is 37 a factor of 251?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 37 is a factor of 251.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 251 and then seeing if 37 is one of them. The factors of 251 are 1 and 251. Looking at the list, you see that 37 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 37 a factor of 251?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 251 by 37 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 37 is a factor of 251. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 37 is not a factor of 251.

251 divided by 37 is 6.783783784 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 37 a factor of 251?" is no.
