Is 43 a factor of 873?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 43 is a factor of 873.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 873 and then seeing if 43 is one of them. The factors of 873 are 1, 3, 9, 97, 291, and 873. Looking at the list, you see that 43 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 43 a factor of 873?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 873 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 873. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 43 is not a factor of 873.

873 divided by 43 is 20.30232558 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 43 a factor of 873?" is no.
