Is 56 a factor of 888?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 56 is a factor of 888.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 888 and then seeing if 56 is one of them. The factors of 888 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, 444, and 888. Looking at the list, you see that 56 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 56 a factor of 888?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 888 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 888. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 56 is not a factor of 888.

888 divided by 56 is 15.85714286 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 56 a factor of 888?" is no.
