Substring factor [FINALIZED]
Now posted: Substring factor
Does a positive integer have a substring as a factor?
Input
- A positive integer.
Output
- One of 2 distinct values to indicate whether the input has a factor that is a strict substring of its base 10 (decimal) representation.
- Only strict substrings count - a string does not count as a strict substring of itself.
- A substring must be contiguous, unlike a subsequence.
- The factor does not need to be a prime factor - any divisor will do, including a composite factor or 1.
- Zero is not a factor of any number.
Examples
Example with a single digit input
Input: 4
Output: false
A single digit integer has no non-empty strict substrings, so the output for any single digit input will be false (or whichever value you choose to consistently represent this).
Example with a substring factor
Input: 370
Output: true
The input has a substring 37, and 37 is a factor of 370 (that is, 370 can be divided by 37 with no remainder).
Example with only a subsequence factor
Input: 253
Output: false
The input has a subsequence 23, and 23 is a factor of 253, but 23 is not a substring (that is, not a contiguous subsequence), so this does not count. None of the substrings of 253 is a factor of 253.
Example with a composite factor
Input: 44
Output: true
The input has a substring 4, and 4 is a factor of 44. Factors do not need to be prime.
Example with 1 as a factor
Input: 31
Output: true
The input has a substring 1, and 1 is a factor of 31.
Test cases
- Test cases are in the format
input : output. - You may use any 2 distinct values in place of
trueandfalse.

Scoring
This is a code golf challenge. Your score is the number of bytes in your code. Lowest score for each language wins.
