Is 7 a factor of 156?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 156.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 156 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 156 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, and 156. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 156?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 156 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 156. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 156.

156 divided by 7 is 22.28571429 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 156?" is no.
