Is 37 a factor of 245?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 37 is a factor of 245.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 245 and then seeing if 37 is one of them. The factors of 245 are 1, 5, 7, 35, 49, and 245. Looking at the list, you see that 37 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 37 a factor of 245?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 245 by 37 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 37 is a factor of 245. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 37 is not a factor of 245.

245 divided by 37 is 6.621621622 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 37 a factor of 245?" is no.
