Is 5 a factor of 516?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 516.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 516 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 516 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 43, 86, 129, 172, 258, and 516. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 516?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 516 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 516. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 516.

516 divided by 5 is 103.2 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 516?" is no.
