How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 343,920?

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 343,920, 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.

1 343,920

Next, we take the number 343,920 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 343,920 ÷ 2 = 171,960

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 171,960 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 171,960 343,920

Now, we try dividing 343,920 by 3.

343,920 ÷ 3 = 114,640

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,640 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 3 114,640 171,960 343,920

Let's try dividing by 4.

343,920 ÷ 4 = 85,980

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,980 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 85,980 114,640 171,960 343,920

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 343,920 ÷ 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:
