• 679 ÷ 4 = 169.75 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 5 = 135.8 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 6 = 113.167 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 7 = 97 — so 7 and 97 are factors
• 679 ÷ 8 = 84.875 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 9 = 75.444 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 10 = 67.9 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 11 = 61.727 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 12 = 56.583 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 13 = 52.231 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 14 = 48.5 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 15 = 45.267 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 16 = 42.438 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 17 = 39.941 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 18 = 37.722 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 19 = 35.737 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 20 = 33.95 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 21 = 32.333 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 22 = 30.864 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 23 = 29.522 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 24 = 28.292 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 25 = 27.16 — not a whole number
• 679 ÷ 26 = 26.115 — not a whole number

Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 7, 97 and 679.
