Is 85 a factor of 650?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 85 is a factor of 650.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 650 and then seeing if 85 is one of them. The factors of 650 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 25, 26, 50, 65, 130, 325, and 650. Looking at the list, you see that 85 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 650?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 650 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 650. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 85 is not a factor of 650.

650 divided by 85 is 7.647058824 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 85 a factor of 650?" is no.
