Is 4 a factor of 979?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 4 is a factor of 979.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 979 and then seeing if 4 is one of them. The factors of 979 are 1, 11, 89, and 979. Looking at the list, you see that 4 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 979?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 979 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 979. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 4 is not a factor of 979.

979 divided by 4 is 244.75 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 979?" is no.
