Is 43 a factor of 989?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 43 is a factor of 989.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 989 and then seeing if 43 is one of them. The factors of 989 are 1, 23, 43, and 989. Looking at the list, you see that 43 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 43 a factor of 989?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 989 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 989. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 43 is not a factor of 989.

989 divided by 43 is 23 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 43 a factor of 989?" is yes.
