Is 55 a factor of 389?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 55 is a factor of 389.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 389 and then seeing if 55 is one of them. The factors of 389 are 1 and 389. Looking at the list, you see that 55 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 55 a factor of 389?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 389 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 389. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 55 is not a factor of 389.

389 divided by 55 is 7.072727273 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 55 a factor of 389?" is no.
