How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 2,430?

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 2,430, 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 2,430

Next, we take the number 2,430 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 2,430 ÷ 2 = 1,215

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,215 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 1,215 2,430

Now, we try dividing 2,430 by 3.

2,430 ÷ 3 = 810

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 810 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 3 810 1,215 2,430

Let's try dividing by 4.

2,430 ÷ 4 = 607.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 607.5 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 3 810 1,215 2,430

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 2,430 ÷ 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:

1235691015182730455481901351622432704054868101,2152,430

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 2,430.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 2,430:

1 x 24302 x 12153 x 8105 x 4866 x 4059 x 27010 x 24315 x 16218 x 13527 x 9030 x 8145 x 54
