Is 97 a factor of 287?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 97 is a factor of 287.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 287 and then seeing if 97 is one of them. The factors of 287 are 1, 7, 41, and 287. Looking at the list, you see that 97 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 97 a factor of 287?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 287 by 97 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 97 is a factor of 287. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 97 is not a factor of 287.

287 divided by 97 is 2.958762887 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 97 a factor of 287?" is no.
