Is 7 a factor of 987?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 7 is a factor of 987.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 987 and then seeing if 7 is one of them. The factors of 987 are 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, and 987. Looking at the list, you see that 7 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 987?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 987 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 987. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 7 is not a factor of 987.

987 divided by 7 is 141 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 7 a factor of 987?" is yes.
