How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 32,748?

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 32,748, 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 32,748

Next, we take the number 32,748 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 32,748 ÷ 2 = 16,374

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,374 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 16,374 32,748

Now, we try dividing 32,748 by 3.

32,748 ÷ 3 = 10,916

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,916 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 10,916 16,374 32,748

Let's try dividing by 4.

32,748 ÷ 4 = 8,187

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,187 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 8,187 10,916 16,374 32,748

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 32,748 ÷ 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:

12346122,7295,4588,18710,91616,37432,748

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 32,748.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 32,748:

1 x 32748
2 x 16374
