Is 81 a factor of 838?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 81 is a factor of 838.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 838 and then seeing if 81 is one of them. The factors of 838 are 1, 2, 419, and 838. Looking at the list, you see that 81 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 81 a factor of 838?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 838 by 81 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 81 is a factor of 838. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 81 is not a factor of 838.

838 divided by 81 is 10.34567901 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 81 a factor of 838?" is no.
