Is 8 a factor of 842?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 8 is a factor of 842.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 842 and then seeing if 8 is one of them. The factors of 842 are 1, 2, 421, and 842. Looking at the list, you see that 8 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 842?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 842 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 842. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 8 is not a factor of 842.

842 divided by 8 is 105.25 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 842?" is no.
