How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 483,648?

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 483,648, 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.

1 483,648

Next, we take the number 483,648 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 483,648 ÷ 2 = 241,824

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 241,824 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 241,824 483,648

Now, we try dividing 483,648 by 3.

483,648 ÷ 3 = 161,216

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 161,216 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 3 161,216 241,824 483,648

Let's try dividing by 4.

483,648 ÷ 4 = 120,912

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,912 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 4 120,912 161,216 241,824 483,648

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 483,648 ÷ 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:
