Is 87 a factor of 900?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 87 is a factor of 900.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 900 and then seeing if 87 is one of them. The factors of 900 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90, 100, 150, 180, 225, 300, 450, and 900. Looking at the list, you see that 87 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 87 a factor of 900?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 900 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 900. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 87 is not a factor of 900.

900 divided by 87 is 10.34482759 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 87 a factor of 900?" is no.
