Is 5 a factor of 747?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 747.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 747 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 747 are 1, 3, 9, 83, 249, and 747. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 747?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 747 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 747. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 747.

747 divided by 5 is 149.4 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 747?" is no.
