How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 297,264?

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 297,264, 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.

1 297,264

Next, we take the number 297,264 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 297,264 ÷ 2 = 148,632

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 148,632 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 148,632 297,264

Now, we try dividing 297,264 by 3.

297,264 ÷ 3 = 99,088

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 99,088 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 99,088 148,632 297,264

Let's try dividing by 4.

297,264 ÷ 4 = 74,316

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 74,316 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 74,316 99,088 148,632 297,264

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 297,264 ÷ 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:

123468111216222433444866881321762645285631,1261,6892,2523,3784,5046,1936,7569,00812,38613,51218,57924,77227,02437,15849,54474,31699,088148,632297,264

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 297,264.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 297,264:

1 x 2972642 x 1486323 x 990884 x 743166 x 495448 x 3715811 x 2702412 x 2477216 x 1857922 x 1351224 x 1238633 x 900844 x 675648 x 619366 x 450488 x 3378132 x 2252176 x 1689264 x 1126528 x 563
