Is 85 a factor of 499?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 85 is a factor of 499.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 499 and then seeing if 85 is one of them. The factors of 499 are 1 and 499. Looking at the list, you see that 85 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 499?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 499 by 85 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 85 is a factor of 499. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 85 is not a factor of 499.

499 divided by 85 is 5.870588235 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 499?" is no.
