Is 42 a factor of 449?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 42 is a factor of 449.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 449 and then seeing if 42 is one of them. The factors of 449 are 1 and 449. Looking at the list, you see that 42 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 42 a factor of 449?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 449 by 42 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 42 is a factor of 449. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 42 is not a factor of 449.

449 divided by 42 is 10.69047619 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 42 a factor of 449?" is no.
