Is 50 a factor of 509?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 50 is a factor of 509.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 509 and then seeing if 50 is one of them. The factors of 509 are 1 and 509. Looking at the list, you see that 50 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 50 a factor of 509?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 509 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 509. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 50 is not a factor of 509.

509 divided by 50 is 10.18 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 50 a factor of 509?" is no.
