How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 327,860?

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 327,860, 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.

1 327,860

Next, we take the number 327,860 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 327,860 ÷ 2 = 163,930

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 163,930 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 163,930 327,860

Now, we try dividing 327,860 by 3.

327,860 ÷ 3 = 109,286.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 109,286.6667 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 2 163,930 327,860

Let's try dividing by 4.

327,860 ÷ 4 = 81,965

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 81,965 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 81,965 163,930 327,860

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 327,860 ÷ 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:
