Is 85 a factor of 827?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 85 is a factor of 827.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 827 and then seeing if 85 is one of them. The factors of 827 are 1 and 827. Looking at the list, you see that 85 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 827?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 827 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 827. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 85 is not a factor of 827.

827 divided by 85 is 9.729411765 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 827?" is no.
