How to find the factors of 918

Test every whole number from 1 up to the square root of 918 (√918 ≈ 30.299). Each number that divides evenly gives you two factors at once: the divisor and the quotient.

  • 918 ÷ 1 = 918 — so 1 and 918 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 2 = 459 — so 2 and 459 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 3 = 306 — so 3 and 306 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 4 = 229.5 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 5 = 183.6 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 6 = 153 — so 6 and 153 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 7 = 131.143 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 8 = 114.75 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 9 = 102 — so 9 and 102 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 10 = 91.8 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 11 = 83.455 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 12 = 76.5 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 13 = 70.615 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 14 = 65.571 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 15 = 61.2 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 16 = 57.375 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 17 = 54 — so 17 and 54 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 18 = 51 — so 18 and 51 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 19 = 48.316 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 20 = 45.9 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 21 = 43.714 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 22 = 41.727 — not a whole number

  • 918 ÷ 24 = 38.25 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 25 = 36.72 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 26 = 35.308 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 27 = 34 — so 27 and 34 are factors
  • 918 ÷ 28 = 32.786 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 29 = 31.655 — not a whole number
  • 918 ÷ 30 = 30.6 — not a whole number

Collecting both numbers from every successful division gives the complete list: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 27, 34, 51, 54, 102, 153, 306, 459 and 918.

Prime factorization of 918

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

918 ÷ 2 = 459
459 ÷ 3 = 153
153 ÷ 3 = 51
51 ÷ 3 = 17
17 ÷ 17 = 1

The primes you divided by give 918 = 2 × 3³ × 17. From the exponents you can also count the factors without listing them: (1 + 1) × (3 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 16.

Properties of 918
