Is 40 a factor of 800?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 40 is a factor of 800.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 800 and then seeing if 40 is one of them. The factors of 800 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 80, 100, 160, 200, 400, and 800. Looking at the list, you see that 40 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 40 a factor of 800?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 800 by 40 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 40 is a factor of 800. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 40 is not a factor of 800.

800 divided by 40 is 20 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 40 a factor of 800?" is yes.
