How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 49,408?

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 49,408, 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 49,408

Next, we take the number 49,408 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 49,408 ÷ 2 = 24,704

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,704 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 24,704 49,408

Now, we try dividing 49,408 by 3.

49,408 ÷ 3 = 16,469.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,469.3333 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 24,704 49,408

Let's try dividing by 4.

49,408 ÷ 4 = 12,352

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,352 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 4 12,352 24,704 49,408

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 49,408 ÷ 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:

12481632641281932563867721,5443,0886,17612,35224,70449,408

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 49,408.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 49,408:

1 x 494082 x 247044 x 123528 x 617616 x 308832 x 154464 x 772128 x 386193 x 256
