Question

Find whether $31$ is a factor of $3596$.

Answer 1

Check the factor using division method:

A number is said to be a factor of a given number if it divides the number exactly i.e. leaves $0$ (zero) as remainder.

Thus to check whether $31$ is a factor of $3596$ we will divide $3596$ by $31$. If remainder is 0 then $31$ is a factor of $3596$, otherwise not.

$31116359631------4931------186186------0$

Since, remainder obtained is $0$. Therefore, $31$ is a factor of $3596$.
Hence, $31$ is a factor of $3596$.
