Is 5 a factor of 275?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 275.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 275 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 275 are 1, 5, 11, 25, 55, and 275. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 275?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 275 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 275. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 275.

275 divided by 5 is 55 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 275?" is yes.
