Is 55 a factor of 385?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 55 is a factor of 385.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 385 and then seeing if 55 is one of them. The factors of 385 are 1, 5, 7, 11, 35, 55, 77, and 385. Looking at the list, you see that 55 is on the list, and the answer to "Is 55 a factor of 385?" is therefore yes.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 385 by 55 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 55 is a factor of 385. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 55 is not a factor of 385.

385 divided by 55 is 7 which is a whole number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 55 a factor of 385?" is yes.
