Is 47 a factor of 188?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 47 is a factor of 188.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 188 and then seeing if 47 is one of them. The factors of 188 are 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, and 188. Looking at the list, you see that 47 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 47 a factor of 188?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 188 by 47 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 47 is a factor of 188. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 47 is not a factor of 188.

188 divided by 47 is 4 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 47 a factor of 188?" is yes.
