Is 73 a factor of 859?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 73 is a factor of 859.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 859 and then seeing if 73 is one of them. The factors of 859 are 1 and 859. Looking at the list, you see that 73 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 73 a factor of 859?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 859 by 73 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 73 is a factor of 859. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 73 is not a factor of 859.

859 divided by 73 is 11.76712329 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 73 a factor of 859?" is no.
