Is 60 a factor of 228?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 60 is a factor of 228.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 228 and then seeing if 60 is one of them. The factors of 228 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 38, 57, 76, 114, and 228. Looking at the list, you see that 60 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 228?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 228 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 228. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 60 is not a factor of 228.

228 divided by 60 is 3.8 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 60 a factor of 228?" is no.
