Is 5 a factor of 785?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 785.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 785 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 785 are 1, 5, 157, and 785. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 785?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 785 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 785. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 785.

785 divided by 5 is 157 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 785?" is yes.
