How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 39,300?

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 39,300, 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 39,300

Next, we take the number 39,300 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 39,300 ÷ 2 = 19,650

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 19,650 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 19,650 39,300

Now, we try dividing 39,300 by 3.

39,300 ÷ 3 = 13,100

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,100 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 13,100 19,650 39,300

Let's try dividing by 4.

39,300 ÷ 4 = 9,825

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,825 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 9,825 13,100 19,650 39,300

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 39,300 ÷ 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:
