Is 83 a factor of 126?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 83 is a factor of 126.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 126 and then seeing if 83 is one of them. The factors of 126 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, and 126. Looking at the list, you see that 83 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 83 a factor of 126?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 126 by 83 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 83 is a factor of 126. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 83 is not a factor of 126.

126 divided by 83 is 1.518072289 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 83 a factor of 126?" is no.
