How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 11,628?

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 11,628, 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 11,628

Next, we take the number 11,628 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 11,628 ÷ 2 = 5,814

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,814 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 5,814 11,628

Now, we try dividing 11,628 by 3.

11,628 ÷ 3 = 3,876

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,876 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 3,876 5,814 11,628

Let's try dividing by 4.

11,628 ÷ 4 = 2,907

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,907 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 2,907 3,876 5,814 11,628

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 11,628 ÷ 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:

12346912171819343638515768761021141531712042283063233426126466849691,2921,9382,9073,8765,81411,628

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 11,628.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 11,628:

1 x 116282 x 58143 x 38764 x 29076 x 19389 x 129212 x 96917 x 68418 x 64619 x 61234 x 34236 x 32338 x 30651 x 22857 x 20468 x 17176 x 153102 x 114
