How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 166,720?

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 166,720, 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.

1 166,720

Next, we take the number 166,720 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 166,720 ÷ 2 = 83,360

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 83,360 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 83,360 166,720

Now, we try dividing 166,720 by 3.

166,720 ÷ 3 = 55,573.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 55,573.3333 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 83,360 166,720

Let's try dividing by 4.

166,720 ÷ 4 = 41,680

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 41,680 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 4 41,680 83,360 166,720

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 166,720 ÷ 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:

12458101620324064801603205211,0422,0842,6054,1685,2108,33610,42016,67220,84033,34441,68083,360166,720

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 166,720.
