Is 87 a factor of 679?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 87 is a factor of 679.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 679 and then seeing if 87 is one of them. The factors of 679 are 1, 7, 97, and 679. Looking at the list, you see that 87 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 87 a factor of 679?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 679 by 87 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 87 is a factor of 679. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 87 is not a factor of 679.

679 divided by 87 is 7.804597701 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 87 a factor of 679?" is no.
