Is 48 a factor of 568?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 48 is a factor of 568.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 568 and then seeing if 48 is one of them. The factors of 568 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 71, 142, 284, and 568. Looking at the list, you see that 48 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 48 a factor of 568?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 568 by 48 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 48 is a factor of 568. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 48 is not a factor of 568.

568 divided by 48 is 11.83333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 48 a factor of 568?" is no.
