Is 7 a factor of 249?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 249.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 249 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 249 are 1, 3, 83, and 249. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 249?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 249 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 249. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 249.

249 divided by 7 is 35.57142857 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 249?" is no.
