Is 5 a factor of 738?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 738.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 738 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 738 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, and 738. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 738?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 738 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 738. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 738.

738 divided by 5 is 147.6 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 738?" is no.
