Is 59 a factor of 483?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 59 is a factor of 483.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 483 and then seeing if 59 is one of them. The factors of 483 are 1, 3, 7, 21, 23, 69, 161, and 483. Looking at the list, you see that 59 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 59 a factor of 483?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 483 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 483. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 59 is not a factor of 483.

483 divided by 59 is 8.186440678 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 59 a factor of 483?" is no.
