Is 77 a factor of 278?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 77 is a factor of 278.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 278 and then seeing if 77 is one of them. The factors of 278 are 1, 2, 139, and 278. Looking at the list, you see that 77 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 77 a factor of 278?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 278 by 77 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 77 is a factor of 278. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 77 is not a factor of 278.

278 divided by 77 is 3.61038961 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 77 a factor of 278?" is no.
