Question

Use division to determine whether the following numbers are factors.

Answer yes or no.
a. Is 13 a factor of 39?
b. Is 15 a factor of 342?
c. Is 14 a factor of 201?
d. Is 12 a factor of 228?

Answer 1

yes

no

no

yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

1. 39/13= 3 Since the remainder is zero hence 13 is a factor of 39

2. 342/15 Since the remainder is not zero hence 342 is not a factor of 15.

3. 201/14 Since the remainder is not zero hence 14 is not a factor of 201

4. 228/12= 19 Since the remainder is zero hence 12 is a factor of 228
