Is 5 a factor of 294?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 294.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 294 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 294 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, and 294. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 294?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 294 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 294. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 294.

294 divided by 5 is 58.8 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 294?" is no.
