How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 270,196?

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 270,196, 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.

1 270,196

Next, we take the number 270,196 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 270,196 ÷ 2 = 135,098

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 135,098 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 135,098 270,196

Now, we try dividing 270,196 by 3.

270,196 ÷ 3 = 90,065.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 90,065.3333 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 2 135,098 270,196

Let's try dividing by 4.

270,196 ÷ 4 = 67,549

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 67,549 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 67,549 135,098 270,196

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 270,196 ÷ 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:

12431621242,1794,3588,71667,549135,098270,196

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 270,196.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 270,196:

1 x 270196
2 x 135098
