Is 2 a factor of 490?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 2 is a factor of 490.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 490 and then seeing if 2 is one of them. The factors of 490 are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 49, 70, 98, 245, and 490. Looking at the list, you see that 2 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 2 a factor of 490?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 490 by 2 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 is a factor of 490. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 2 is not a factor of 490.

490 divided by 2 is 245 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 2 a factor of 490?" is yes.
