Is 58 a factor of 258?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 58 is a factor of 258.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 258 and then seeing if 58 is one of them. The factors of 258 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, and 258. Looking at the list, you see that 58 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 58 a factor of 258?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 258 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 258. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 58 is not a factor of 258.

258 divided by 58 is 4.448275862 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 58 a factor of 258?" is no.
