Is 71 a factor of 947?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 71 is a factor of 947.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 947 and then seeing if 71 is one of them. The factors of 947 are 1 and 947. Looking at the list, you see that 71 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 71 a factor of 947?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 947 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 947. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 71 is not a factor of 947.

947 divided by 71 is 13.33802817 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 71 a factor of 947?" is no.
