Is 59 a factor of 409?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 59 is a factor of 409.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 409 and then seeing if 59 is one of them. The factors of 409 are 1 and 409. Looking at the list, you see that 59 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 59 a factor of 409?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 409 by 59 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 59 is a factor of 409. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 59 is not a factor of 409.

409 divided by 59 is 6.93220339 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 59 a factor of 409?" is no.
