How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 175,680?

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 175,680, 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.

1 175,680

Next, we take the number 175,680 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 175,680 ÷ 2 = 87,840

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 87,840 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 87,840 175,680

Now, we try dividing 175,680 by 3.

175,680 ÷ 3 = 58,560

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,560 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 58,560 87,840 175,680

Let's try dividing by 4.

175,680 ÷ 4 = 43,920

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 43,920 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 43,920 58,560 87,840 175,680

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 175,680 ÷ 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:
