Is 50 a factor of 277?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 50 is a factor of 277.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 277 and then seeing if 50 is one of them. The factors of 277 are 1 and 277. Looking at the list, you see that 50 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 50 a factor of 277?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 277 by 50 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 50 is a factor of 277. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 50 is not a factor of 277.

277 divided by 50 is 5.54 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 50 a factor of 277?" is no.
