How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 23,528?

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 23,528, 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 23,528

Next, we take the number 23,528 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 23,528 ÷ 2 = 11,764

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,764 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 11,764 23,528

Now, we try dividing 23,528 by 3.

23,528 ÷ 3 = 7,842.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,842.6667 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 11,764 23,528

Let's try dividing by 4.

23,528 ÷ 4 = 5,882

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,882 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 5,882 11,764 23,528

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 23,528 ÷ 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:

12481734681361733466921,3842,9415,88211,76423,528

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 23,528.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 23,528:

1 x 235282 x 117644 x 58828 x 294117 x 138434 x 69268 x 346136 x 173
