Is 4 a factor of 500?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 4 is a factor of 500.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 500 and then seeing if 4 is one of them. The factors of 500 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, and 500. Looking at the list, you see that 4 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 500?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 500 by 4 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 is a factor of 500. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 4 is not a factor of 500.

500 divided by 4 is 125 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 500?" is yes.
