• 549 ÷ 2 = 274.5 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 3 = 183 — so 3 and 183 are factors
• 549 ÷ 4 = 137.25 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 5 = 109.8 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 6 = 91.5 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 7 = 78.429 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 8 = 68.625 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 9 = 61 — so 9 and 61 are factors
• 549 ÷ 10 = 54.9 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 11 = 49.909 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 12 = 45.75 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 13 = 42.231 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 14 = 39.214 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 15 = 36.6 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 16 = 34.313 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 17 = 32.294 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 18 = 30.5 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 19 = 28.895 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 20 = 27.45 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 21 = 26.143 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 22 = 24.955 — not a whole number
• 549 ÷ 23 = 23.87 — not a whole number

Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 3, 9, 61, 183 and 549.

Prime factorization of 549
