How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 831,760?

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 831,760, 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.

1 831,760

Next, we take the number 831,760 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 831,760 ÷ 2 = 415,880

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 415,880 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 415,880 831,760

Now, we try dividing 831,760 by 3.

831,760 ÷ 3 = 277,253.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 277,253.3333 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 2 415,880 831,760

Let's try dividing by 4.

831,760 ÷ 4 = 207,940

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 207,940 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 4 207,940 415,880 831,760

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 831,760 ÷ 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:
