How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 959,772?

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 959,772, 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.

1 959,772

Next, we take the number 959,772 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 959,772 ÷ 2 = 479,886

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 479,886 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 479,886 959,772

Now, we try dividing 959,772 by 3.

959,772 ÷ 3 = 319,924

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 319,924 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 3 319,924 479,886 959,772

Let's try dividing by 4.

959,772 ÷ 4 = 239,943

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 239,943 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 4 239,943 319,924 479,886 959,772

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 959,772 ÷ 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:
