Is 5 a factor of 892?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 892.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 892 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 892 are 1, 2, 4, 223, 446, and 892. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 892?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 892 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 892. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 892.

892 divided by 5 is 178.4 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 892?" is no.
