How to find the factors of 884
Test every whole number from 1 up to the square root of 884 (√884 ≈ 29.732). Each number that divides evenly gives you two factors at once: the divisor and the quotient.
- 884 ÷ 1 = 884 — so 1 and 884 are factors
- 884 ÷ 2 = 442 — so 2 and 442 are factors
- 884 ÷ 3 = 294.667 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 4 = 221 — so 4 and 221 are factors
- 884 ÷ 5 = 176.8 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 6 = 147.333 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 7 = 126.286 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 8 = 110.5 — not a whole number

- 884 ÷ 10 = 88.4 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 11 = 80.364 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 12 = 73.667 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 13 = 68 — so 13 and 68 are factors
- 884 ÷ 14 = 63.143 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 15 = 58.933 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 16 = 55.25 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 17 = 52 — so 17 and 52 are factors
- 884 ÷ 18 = 49.111 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 19 = 46.526 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 20 = 44.2 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 21 = 42.095 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 22 = 40.182 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 23 = 38.435 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 24 = 36.833 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 25 = 35.36 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 26 = 34 — so 26 and 34 are factors
- 884 ÷ 27 = 32.741 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 28 = 31.571 — not a whole number
- 884 ÷ 29 = 30.483 — not a whole number
Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442 and 884.
Prime factorization of 884
Divide by the smallest prime that fits, and keep going until the quotient is 1:
The primes you divided by give 884 = 2² × 13 × 17. From the exponents you can also count the factors without listing them: (2 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 12.
Properties of 884
- 884 is a composite number.
- The sum of all its factors is 1,764; the sum of its proper factors (excluding 884) is 880, which makes it a deficient number (its proper factors add up to less than itself).
- 884 is not a perfect square, so its factors pair up evenly.
- Multiples of 884 include 1,768, 2,652, 3,536, 4,420 and so on.
