Is 7 a factor of 74?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 74.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 74 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 74 are 1, 2, 37, and 74. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 74?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 74 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 74. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 74.

74 divided by 7 is 10.57142857 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 74?" is no.
