How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 675,000?

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 675,000, 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.

1 675,000

Next, we take the number 675,000 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 675,000 ÷ 2 = 337,500

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 337,500 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 337,500 675,000

Now, we try dividing 675,000 by 3.

675,000 ÷ 3 = 225,000

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 225,000 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 3 225,000 337,500 675,000

Let's try dividing by 4.

675,000 ÷ 4 = 168,750

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 168,750 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 4 168,750 225,000 337,500 675,000

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 675,000 ÷ 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:
