How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 389,100?

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 389,100, 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.

1 389,100

Next, we take the number 389,100 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 389,100 ÷ 2 = 194,550

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 194,550 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 194,550 389,100

Now, we try dividing 389,100 by 3.

389,100 ÷ 3 = 129,700

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 129,700 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 3 129,700 194,550 389,100

Let's try dividing by 4.

389,100 ÷ 4 = 97,275

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 97,275 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 97,275 129,700 194,550 389,100

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 389,100 ÷ 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:

1234561012152025305060751001503001,2972,5943,8915,1886,4857,78212,97015,56419,45525,94032,42538,91064,85077,82097,275129,700194,550389,100

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 389,100.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 389,100:
