How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 15,264?

Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the factors of larger numbers. To find the factors of the number 15,264, it is easiest to start from the outside in. Here's what we mean:

Outside in Factoring

We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table.

1 15,264

Next, we take the number 15,264 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 15,264 ÷ 2 = 7,632

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,632 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 7,632 15,264

Now, we try dividing 15,264 by 3.

15,264 ÷ 3 = 5,088

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,088 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 5,088 7,632 15,264

Let's try dividing by 4.

15,264 ÷ 4 = 3,816

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,816 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 3,816 5,088 7,632 15,264

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 15,264 ÷ 5 is a whole number, then 5 and your quotient are factors of the number.


Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.


What you will end up with is this table:

1234689121618243236485372961061441592122883184244776368489541,2721,6961,9082,5443,8165,0887,63215,264

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 15,264.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 15,264:

1 x 152642 x 76323 x 50884 x 38166 x 25448 x 19089 x 169612 x 127216 x 95418 x 84824 x 63632 x 47736 x 42448 x 31853 x 28872 x 21296 x 159106 x 144
