Is 8 a factor of 721?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 8 is a factor of 721.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 721 and then seeing if 8 is one of them. The factors of 721 are 1, 7, 103, and 721. Looking at the list, you see that 8 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 721?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 721 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 721. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 8 is not a factor of 721.

721 divided by 8 is 90.125 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 721?" is no.
