Recalling the Factor Theorem for Container Design

A fabrication technician at a custom container factory uses the polynomial function f(x)=x3−125f(x) = x^3 - 125 to model the volume of a cubic storage bin. The technician needs to determine if the dimension x−5x - 5 is a mathematical factor of this volume model. According to the Factor Theorem, what specific value of xx must the technician substitute into the function, and what must the resulting value of f(x)f(x) be to confirm that x−5x - 5 is a factor?
