Is 49 a factor of 488?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 49 is a factor of 488.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 488 and then seeing if 49 is one of them. The factors of 488 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, and 488. Looking at the list, you see that 49 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 49 a factor of 488?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 488 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 488. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 49 is not a factor of 488.

488 divided by 49 is 9.959183673 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 49 a factor of 488?" is no.
