Is 7 a factor of 87?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 87.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 87 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 87 are 1, 3, 29, and 87. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 87?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 87 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 87. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 87.

87 divided by 7 is 12.42857143 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 87?" is no.
