• 870 ÷ 3 = 290 — so 3 and 290 are factors
• 870 ÷ 4 = 217.5 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 5 = 174 — so 5 and 174 are factors
• 870 ÷ 6 = 145 — so 6 and 145 are factors
• 870 ÷ 7 = 124.286 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 8 = 108.75 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 9 = 96.667 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 10 = 87 — so 10 and 87 are factors
• 870 ÷ 11 = 79.091 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 12 = 72.5 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 13 = 66.923 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 14 = 62.143 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 15 = 58 — so 15 and 58 are factors
• 870 ÷ 16 = 54.375 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 17 = 51.176 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 18 = 48.333 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 19 = 45.789 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 20 = 43.5 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 21 = 41.429 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 22 = 39.545 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 23 = 37.826 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 24 = 36.25 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 25 = 34.8 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 26 = 33.462 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 27 = 32.222 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 28 = 31.071 — not a whole number
• 870 ÷ 29 = 30 — so 29 and 30 are factors

Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 29, 30, 58, 87, 145, 174, 290, 435 and 870.

Prime factorization of 870

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

The primes you divided by give 870 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 29. From the exponents you can also count the factors without listing them: (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 16.

Properties of 870

• 870 is a composite number.
• The sum of all its factors is 2,160; the sum of its proper factors (excluding 870) is 1,290, which makes it a abundant number (its proper factors add up to more than itself).
• 870 is not a perfect square, so its factors pair up evenly.
• Multiples of 870 include 1,740, 2,610, 3,480, 4,350 and so on.
