Is 56 a factor of 395?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 56 is a factor of 395.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 395 and then seeing if 56 is one of them. The factors of 395 are 1, 5, 79, and 395. Looking at the list, you see that 56 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 56 a factor of 395?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 395 by 56 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 56 is a factor of 395. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 56 is not a factor of 395.

395 divided by 56 is 7.053571429 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 56 a factor of 395?" is no.
