Is 8 a factor of 878?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 8 is a factor of 878.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 878 and then seeing if 8 is one of them. The factors of 878 are 1, 2, 439, and 878. Looking at the list, you see that 8 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 878?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 878 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 878. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 8 is not a factor of 878.

878 divided by 8 is 109.75 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 8 a factor of 878?" is no.
