Is 4 a factor of 26?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 4 is a factor of 26.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 26 and then seeing if 4 is one of them. The factors of 26 are 1, 2, 13, and 26. Looking at the list, you see that 4 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 26?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 26 by 4 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 is a factor of 26. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 4 is not a factor of 26.

26 divided by 4 is 6.5 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 26?" is no.
