• 896 ÷ 10 = 89.6 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 11 = 81.455 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 12 = 74.667 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 13 = 68.923 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 14 = 64 — so 14 and 64 are factors
• 896 ÷ 15 = 59.733 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 16 = 56 — so 16 and 56 are factors
• 896 ÷ 17 = 52.706 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 18 = 49.778 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 19 = 47.158 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 20 = 44.8 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 21 = 42.667 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 22 = 40.727 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 23 = 38.957 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 24 = 37.333 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 25 = 35.84 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 26 = 34.462 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 27 = 33.185 — not a whole number
• 896 ÷ 28 = 32 — so 28 and 32 are factors
• 896 ÷ 29 = 30.897 — not a whole number

Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 64, 112, 128, 224, 448 and 896.

Prime factorization of 896
