Is 79 a factor of 237?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 79 is a factor of 237.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 237 and then seeing if 79 is one of them. The factors of 237 are 1, 3, 79, and 237. Looking at the list, you see that 79 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 79 a factor of 237?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 237 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 237. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 79 is not a factor of 237.

237 divided by 79 is 3 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 79 a factor of 237?" is yes.
