Is 83 a factor of 144?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 83 is a factor of 144.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 144 and then seeing if 83 is one of them. The factors of 144 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 144. Looking at the list, you see that 83 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 83 a factor of 144?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 144 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 144. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 83 is not a factor of 144.

144 divided by 83 is 1.734939759 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 83 a factor of 144?" is no.
