Is 89 a factor of 471?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 89 is a factor of 471.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 471 and then seeing if 89 is one of them. The factors of 471 are 1, 3, 157, and 471. Looking at the list, you see that 89 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 89 a factor of 471?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 471 by 89 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 89 is a factor of 471. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 89 is not a factor of 471.

471 divided by 89 is 5.292134831 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 89 a factor of 471?" is no.
