Is 59 a factor of 499?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 59 is a factor of 499.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 499 and then seeing if 59 is one of them. The factors of 499 are 1 and 499. Looking at the list, you see that 59 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 59 a factor of 499?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 499 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 499. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 59 is not a factor of 499.

499 divided by 59 is 8.457627119 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 59 a factor of 499?" is no.
