Is 96 a factor of 659?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 96 is a factor of 659.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 659 and then seeing if 96 is one of them. The factors of 659 are 1 and 659. Looking at the list, you see that 96 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 96 a factor of 659?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 659 by 96 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 96 is a factor of 659. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 96 is not a factor of 659.

659 divided by 96 is 6.864583333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 96 a factor of 659?" is no.
