How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 805,700?

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 805,700, 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.

1 805,700

Next, we take the number 805,700 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 805,700 ÷ 2 = 402,850

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 402,850 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 402,850 805,700

Now, we try dividing 805,700 by 3.

805,700 ÷ 3 = 268,566.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 268,566.6667 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 2 402,850 805,700

Let's try dividing by 4.

805,700 ÷ 4 = 201,425

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 201,425 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 4 201,425 402,850 805,700

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 805,700 ÷ 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:
