How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 389,844?

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 389,844, 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.

1 389,844

Next, we take the number 389,844 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 389,844 ÷ 2 = 194,922

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 194,922 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 194,922 389,844

Now, we try dividing 389,844 by 3.

389,844 ÷ 3 = 129,948

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 129,948 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 3 129,948 194,922 389,844

Let's try dividing by 4.

389,844 ÷ 4 = 97,461

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 97,461 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 97,461 129,948 194,922 389,844

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 389,844 ÷ 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:
