How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 79,636?

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 79,636, 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 79,636

Next, we take the number 79,636 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 79,636 ÷ 2 = 39,818

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 39,818 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 39,818 79,636

Now, we try dividing 79,636 by 3.

79,636 ÷ 3 = 26,545.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 26,545.3333 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 39,818 79,636

Let's try dividing by 4.

79,636 ÷ 4 = 19,909

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 19,909 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 19,909 39,818 79,636

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 79,636 ÷ 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:

12443861724639261,85219,90939,81879,636

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 79,636.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 79,636:

1 x 79636
2 x 39818
