Is 92 a factor of 42?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 92 is a factor of 42.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 42 and then seeing if 92 is one of them. The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42. Looking at the list, you see that 92 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 92 a factor of 42?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 42 by 92 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 92 is a factor of 42. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 92 is not a factor of 42.

42 divided by 92 is 0.456521739 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 92 a factor of 42?" is no.
