Is 49 a factor of 487?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 49 is a factor of 487.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 487 and then seeing if 49 is one of them. The factors of 487 are 1 and 487. Looking at the list, you see that 49 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 49 a factor of 487?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 487 by 49 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 49 is a factor of 487. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 49 is not a factor of 487.

487 divided by 49 is 9.93877551 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 49 a factor of 487?" is no.
