• 798 ÷ 10 = 79.8 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 11 = 72.545 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 12 = 66.5 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 13 = 61.385 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 14 = 57 — so 14 and 57 are factors
• 798 ÷ 15 = 53.2 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 16 = 49.875 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 17 = 46.941 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 18 = 44.333 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 19 = 42 — so 19 and 42 are factors
• 798 ÷ 20 = 39.9 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 21 = 38 — so 21 and 38 are factors
• 798 ÷ 22 = 36.273 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 23 = 34.696 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 24 = 33.25 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 25 = 31.92 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 26 = 30.692 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 27 = 29.556 — not a whole number
• 798 ÷ 28 = 28.5 — not a whole number

Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 19, 21, 38, 42, 57, 114, 133, 266, 399 and 798.

Prime factorization of 798
