Is 2 a factor of 895?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 2 is a factor of 895.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 895 and then seeing if 2 is one of them. The factors of 895 are 1, 5, 179, and 895. Looking at the list, you see that 2 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 2 a factor of 895?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 895 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 895. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 2 is not a factor of 895.

895 divided by 2 is 447.5 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 2 a factor of 895?" is no.
