How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 48,792?

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 48,792, 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 48,792

Next, we take the number 48,792 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 48,792 ÷ 2 = 24,396

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,396 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 24,396 48,792

Now, we try dividing 48,792 by 3.

48,792 ÷ 3 = 16,264

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,264 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 16,264 24,396 48,792

Let's try dividing by 4.

48,792 ÷ 4 = 12,198

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,198 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 12,198 16,264 24,396 48,792

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 48,792 ÷ 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:

1234681219243857761071141522142283214284566428561,2842,0332,5684,0666,0998,13212,19816,26424,39648,792

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 48,792.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 48,792:

1 x 487922 x 243963 x 162644 x 121986 x 81328 x 609912 x 406619 x 256824 x 203338 x 128457 x 85676 x 642107 x 456114 x 428152 x 321214 x 228
