Is 46 a factor of 237?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 46 is a factor of 237.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 237 and then seeing if 46 is one of them. The factors of 237 are 1, 3, 79, and 237. Looking at the list, you see that 46 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 46 a factor of 237?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 237 by 46 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 46 is a factor of 237. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 46 is not a factor of 237.

237 divided by 46 is 5.152173913 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 46 a factor of 237?" is no.
