Is 7 a factor of 118?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 118.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 118 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 118 are 1, 2, 59, and 118. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 118?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 118 by 7 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 7 is a factor of 118. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 118.

118 divided by 7 is 16.85714286 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 118?" is no.
