Is 52 a factor of 742?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 52 is a factor of 742.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 742 and then seeing if 52 is one of them. The factors of 742 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, and 742. Looking at the list, you see that 52 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 52 a factor of 742?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 742 by 52 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 52 is a factor of 742. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 52 is not a factor of 742.

742 divided by 52 is 14.26923077 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 52 a factor of 742?" is no.
