Is 42 a factor of 454?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 42 is a factor of 454.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 454 and then seeing if 42 is one of them. The factors of 454 are 1, 2, 227, and 454. Looking at the list, you see that 42 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 42 a factor of 454?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 454 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 454. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 42 is not a factor of 454.

454 divided by 42 is 10.80952381 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 42 a factor of 454?" is no.
