How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 387,768?

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 387,768, 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.

1 387,768

Next, we take the number 387,768 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 387,768 ÷ 2 = 193,884

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 193,884 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 193,884 387,768

Now, we try dividing 387,768 by 3.

387,768 ÷ 3 = 129,256

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 129,256 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 3 129,256 193,884 387,768

Let's try dividing by 4.

387,768 ÷ 4 = 96,942

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 96,942 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 96,942 129,256 193,884 387,768

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 387,768 ÷ 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:

12346812241071512143023214284536046428569061,2081,2841,8122,5683,62416,15732,31448,47164,62896,942129,256193,884387,768

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 387,768.
