Is 38 a factor of 490?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 38 is a factor of 490.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 490 and then seeing if 38 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 38 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 38 a factor of 490?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 490 by 38 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 38 is a factor of 490. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 38 is not a factor of 490.

490 divided by 38 is 12.89473684 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 38 a factor of 490?" is no.
