Is 8 a factor of 402?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 8 is a factor of 402.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 402 and then seeing if 8 is one of them. The factors of 402 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, and 402. Looking at the list, you see that 8 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 402?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 402 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 402. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 8 is not a factor of 402.

402 divided by 8 is 50.25 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 402?" is no.
