Is 50 a factor of 500?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 50 is a factor of 500.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 500 and then seeing if 50 is one of them. The factors of 500 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, and 500. Looking at the list, you see that 50 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 50 a factor of 500?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 500 by 50 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 50 is a factor of 500. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 50 is not a factor of 500.

500 divided by 50 is 10 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 50 a factor of 500?" is yes.
