Is 5 a factor of 744?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 744.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 744 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 744 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 248, 372, and 744. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 744?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 744 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 744. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 744.

744 divided by 5 is 148.8 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 744?" is no.
