Is 5 a factor of 472?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 472.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 472 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 472 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, and 472. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 472?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 472 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 472. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 472.

472 divided by 5 is 94.4 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 472?" is no.
