Is 81 a factor of 842?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 81 is a factor of 842.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 842 and then seeing if 81 is one of them. The factors of 842 are 1, 2, 421, and 842. Looking at the list, you see that 81 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 81 a factor of 842?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 842 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 842. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 81 is not a factor of 842.

842 divided by 81 is 10.39506173 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 81 a factor of 842?" is no.
