How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 744,700?

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 744,700, 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.

1 744,700

Next, we take the number 744,700 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 744,700 ÷ 2 = 372,350

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 372,350 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 372,350 744,700

Now, we try dividing 744,700 by 3.

744,700 ÷ 3 = 248,233.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 248,233.3333 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 2 372,350 744,700

Let's try dividing by 4.

744,700 ÷ 4 = 186,175

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 186,175 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 4 186,175 372,350 744,700

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 744,700 ÷ 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:

124510112022254450551001102202755506771,1001,3542,7083,3856,7707,44713,54014,89416,92529,78833,85037,23567,70074,470148,940186,175372,350744,700
