Is 73 a factor of 870?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 73 is a factor of 870.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 870 and then seeing if 73 is one of them. The factors of 870 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 29, 30, 58, 87, 145, 174, 290, 435, and 870. Looking at the list, you see that 73 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 73 a factor of 870?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 870 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 870. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 73 is not a factor of 870.

870 divided by 73 is 11.91780822 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 73 a factor of 870?" is no.
