Is 5 a factor of 250?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 250.

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

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 250 by 5 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 5 is a factor of 250. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 250.

250 divided by 5 is 50 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 250?" is yes.
