Is 56 a factor of 397?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 56 is a factor of 397.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 397 and then seeing if 56 is one of them. The factors of 397 are 1 and 397. Looking at the list, you see that 56 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 56 a factor of 397?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 397 by 56 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 56 is a factor of 397. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 56 is not a factor of 397.

397 divided by 56 is 7.089285714 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 56 a factor of 397?" is no.
