Is 7 a factor of 852?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 852.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 852 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 852 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 71, 142, 213, 284, 426, and 852. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 852?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 852 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 852. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 852.

852 divided by 7 is 121.7142857 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 852?" is no.
