Is 79 a factor of 229?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 79 is a factor of 229.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 229 and then seeing if 79 is one of them. The factors of 229 are 1 and 229. Looking at the list, you see that 79 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 79 a factor of 229?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 229 by 79 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 79 is a factor of 229. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 79 is not a factor of 229.

229 divided by 79 is 2.898734177 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 79 a factor of 229?" is no.
