• 848 ÷ 9 = 94.222 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 10 = 84.8 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 11 = 77.091 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 12 = 70.667 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 13 = 65.231 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 14 = 60.571 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 15 = 56.533 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 16 = 53 — so 16 and 53 are factors
• 848 ÷ 17 = 49.882 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 18 = 47.111 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 19 = 44.632 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 20 = 42.4 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 21 = 40.381 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 22 = 38.545 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 23 = 36.87 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 24 = 35.333 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 25 = 33.92 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 26 = 32.615 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 27 = 31.407 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 28 = 30.286 — not a whole number
• 848 ÷ 29 = 29.241 — not a whole number

Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424 and 848.

Prime factorization of 848

Divide by the smallest prime that fits, and keep going until the quotient is 1:

The primes you divided by give 848 = 2⁴ × 53. From the exponents you can also count the factors without listing them: (4 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 10.

Properties of 848

• 848 is a composite number.
• The sum of all its factors is 1,674; the sum of its proper factors (excluding 848) is 826, which makes it a deficient number (its proper factors add up to less than itself).
• 848 is not a perfect square, so its factors pair up evenly.
• Multiples of 848 include 1,696, 2,544, 3,392, 4,240 and so on.
