Is 8 a factor of 143?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 8 is a factor of 143.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 143 and then seeing if 8 is one of them. The factors of 143 are 1, 11, 13, and 143. Looking at the list, you see that 8 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 143?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 143 by 8 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 8 is a factor of 143. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 8 is not a factor of 143.

143 divided by 8 is 17.875 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 143?" is no.
