How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 506,688?

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 506,688, 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.

1 506,688

Next, we take the number 506,688 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 506,688 ÷ 2 = 253,344

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 253,344 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 253,344 506,688

Now, we try dividing 506,688 by 3.

506,688 ÷ 3 = 168,896

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 168,896 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 3 168,896 253,344 506,688

Let's try dividing by 4.

506,688 ÷ 4 = 126,672

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 126,672 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 4 126,672 168,896 253,344 506,688

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 506,688 ÷ 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:
