Is 60 a factor of 221?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 60 is a factor of 221.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 221 and then seeing if 60 is one of them. The factors of 221 are 1, 13, 17, and 221. Looking at the list, you see that 60 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 221?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 221 by 60 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 60 is a factor of 221. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 60 is not a factor of 221.

221 divided by 60 is 3.683333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 221?" is no.
