Is 85 a factor of 657?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 85 is a factor of 657.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 657 and then seeing if 85 is one of them. The factors of 657 are 1, 3, 9, 73, 219, and 657. Looking at the list, you see that 85 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 657?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 657 by 85 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 85 is a factor of 657. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 85 is not a factor of 657.

657 divided by 85 is 7.729411765 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 657?" is no.
