Is 58 a factor of 236?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 58 is a factor of 236.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 236 and then seeing if 58 is one of them. The factors of 236 are 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, and 236. Looking at the list, you see that 58 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 58 a factor of 236?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 236 by 58 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 58 is a factor of 236. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 58 is not a factor of 236.

236 divided by 58 is 4.068965517 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 58 a factor of 236?" is no.
