How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 4,950?

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 4,950, 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 4,950

Next, we take the number 4,950 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 4,950 ÷ 2 = 2,475

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,475 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 2,475 4,950

Now, we try dividing 4,950 by 3.

4,950 ÷ 3 = 1,650

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,650 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 1,650 2,475 4,950

Let's try dividing by 4.

4,950 ÷ 4 = 1,237.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,237.5 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 1,650 2,475 4,950

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 4,950 ÷ 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:

1235691011151822253033455055667590991101501651982252753304504955508259901,6502,4754,950

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 4,950.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 4,950:

1 x 49502 x 24753 x 16505 x 9906 x 8259 x 55010 x 49511 x 45015 x 33018 x 27522 x 22525 x 19830 x 16533 x 15045 x 11050 x 9955 x 9066 x 75
