Is 60 a factor of 223?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 60 is a factor of 223.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 223 and then seeing if 60 is one of them. The factors of 223 are 1 and 223. Looking at the list, you see that 60 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 223?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 223 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 223. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 60 is not a factor of 223.

223 divided by 60 is 3.716666667 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 223?" is no.
