Is 43 a factor of 588?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 43 is a factor of 588.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 588 and then seeing if 43 is one of them. The factors of 588 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, and 588. Looking at the list, you see that 43 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 43 a factor of 588?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 588 by 43 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 43 is a factor of 588. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 43 is not a factor of 588.

588 divided by 43 is 13.6744186 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 43 a factor of 588?" is no.
