Is 5 a factor of 900?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 5 is a factor of 900.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 900 and then seeing if 5 is one of them. The factors of 900 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90, 100, 150, 180, 225, 300, 450, and 900. Looking at the list, you see that 5 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 900?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 900 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 900. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 5 is not a factor of 900.

900 divided by 5 is 180 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 5 a factor of 900?" is yes.
