Is 71 a factor of 492?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 71 is a factor of 492.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 492 and then seeing if 71 is one of them. The factors of 492 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, and 492. Looking at the list, you see that 71 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 71 a factor of 492?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 492 by 71 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 71 is a factor of 492. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 71 is not a factor of 492.

492 divided by 71 is 6.929577465 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 71 a factor of 492?" is no.
