How to find the factors of 440
Test every whole number from 1 up to the square root of 440 (√440 ≈ 20.976). Each number that divides evenly gives you two factors at once: the divisor and the quotient.
- 440 ÷ 1 = 440 — so 1 and 440 are factors
- 440 ÷ 2 = 220 — so 2 and 220 are factors
- 440 ÷ 3 = 146.667 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 4 = 110 — so 4 and 110 are factors
- 440 ÷ 5 = 88 — so 5 and 88 are factors
- 440 ÷ 6 = 73.333 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 7 = 62.857 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 8 = 55 — so 8 and 55 are factors
- 440 ÷ 9 = 48.889 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 10 = 44 — so 10 and 44 are factors
- 440 ÷ 11 = 40 — so 11 and 40 are factors
- 440 ÷ 12 = 36.667 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 13 = 33.846 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 14 = 31.429 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 15 = 29.333 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 16 = 27.5 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 17 = 25.882 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 18 = 24.444 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 19 = 23.158 — not a whole number
- 440 ÷ 20 = 22 — so 20 and 22 are factors
Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 20, 22, 40, 44, 55, 88, 110, 220 and 440.
Prime factorization of 440
Divide by the smallest prime that fits, and keep going until the quotient is 1:
The primes you divided by give 440 = 2³ × 5 × 11. From the exponents you can also count the factors without listing them: (3 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 16.
Properties of 440
- 440 is a composite number.
- The sum of all its factors is 1,080; the sum of its proper factors (excluding 440) is 640, which makes it a abundant number (its proper factors add up to more than itself).
- 440 is not a perfect square, so its factors pair up evenly.
- Multiples of 440 include 880, 1,320, 1,760, 2,200 and so on.
Factors vs. multiples
Factors of 440 are the numbers that divide into it; multiples of 440 are the numbers it divides into. Every number has a limited set of factors but infinitely many multiples. To work with any other number, use the factors calculator, or find shared factors with the GCF calculator.
