How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 267,952?

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 267,952, 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.

1 267,952

Next, we take the number 267,952 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 267,952 ÷ 2 = 133,976

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 133,976 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 133,976 267,952

Now, we try dividing 267,952 by 3.

267,952 ÷ 3 = 89,317.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 89,317.3333 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 2 133,976 267,952

Let's try dividing by 4.

267,952 ÷ 4 = 66,988

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 66,988 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 66,988 133,976 267,952

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 267,952 ÷ 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:

12481616,74733,49466,988133,976267,952

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 267,952.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 267,952:

1 x 267952
2 x 133976
4 x 66988
8 x 33494
