Is 9 a factor of 254?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 9 is a factor of 254.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 254 and then seeing if 9 is one of them. The factors of 254 are 1, 2, 127, and 254. Looking at the list, you see that 9 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 9 a factor of 254?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 254 by 9 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 9 is a factor of 254. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 9 is not a factor of 254.

254 divided by 9 is 28.22222222 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 9 a factor of 254?" is no.
