Is 5 a factor of 740?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 740.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 740 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 740 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, and 740. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 740?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 740 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 740. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 740.

740 divided by 5 is 148 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 740?" is yes.
