Is 9 a factor of 598?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 9 is a factor of 598.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 598 and then seeing if 9 is one of them. The factors of 598 are 1, 2, 13, 23, 26, 46, 299, and 598. Looking at the list, you see that 9 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 9 a factor of 598?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 598 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 598. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 9 is not a factor of 598.

598 divided by 9 is 66.44444444 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 9 a factor of 598?" is no.
