Is 7 a factor of 855?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 855.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 855 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 855 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 45, 57, 95, 171, 285, and 855. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 855?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 855 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 855. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 855.

855 divided by 7 is 122.1428571 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 855?" is no.
