Is 47 a factor of 282?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 47 is a factor of 282.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 282 and then seeing if 47 is one of them. The factors of 282 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, and 282. Looking at the list, you see that 47 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 47 a factor of 282?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 282 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 282. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 47 is not a factor of 282.

282 divided by 47 is 6 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 47 a factor of 282?" is yes.
