LetGbe a claw-free graph with ordernand minimum degree δ. We improve results of Faudree et al. and Gould & Jacobson, and solve two open problems by proving the following two results. If δ = 4, thenGhas a 2-factor with at most (5n− 14)/18 components, unlessGbelongs to a finite class of exceptional graphs. If δ ≥ 5, thenGhas a 2-factor with at most (n− 3)/(δ − 1) components, unlessGis a complete graph. These bounds are best possible in the sense that we cannot replace 5/18 by a smaller quotient and we cannot replace δ − 1 by δ, respectively.
