Is 40 a factor of 402?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 40 is a factor of 402.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 402 and then seeing if 40 is one of them. The factors of 402 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, and 402. Looking at the list, you see that 40 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 40 a factor of 402?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 402 by 40 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 40 is a factor of 402. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 40 is not a factor of 402.

402 divided by 40 is 10.05 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 40 a factor of 402?" is no.
