Is 7 a factor of 861?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 861.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 861 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 861 are 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, and 861. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 861?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 861 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 861. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 861.

861 divided by 7 is 123 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 861?" is yes.
