Is 83 a factor of 831?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 83 is a factor of 831.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 831 and then seeing if 83 is one of them. The factors of 831 are 1, 3, 277, and 831. Looking at the list, you see that 83 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 83 a factor of 831?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 831 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 831. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 83 is not a factor of 831.

831 divided by 83 is 10.01204819 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 83 a factor of 831?" is no.
