• 992 ÷ 11 = 90.182 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 12 = 82.667 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 13 = 76.308 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 14 = 70.857 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 15 = 66.133 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 16 = 62 — so 16 and 62 are factors
• 992 ÷ 17 = 58.353 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 18 = 55.111 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 19 = 52.211 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 20 = 49.6 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 21 = 47.238 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 22 = 45.091 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 23 = 43.13 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 24 = 41.333 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 25 = 39.68 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 26 = 38.154 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 27 = 36.741 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 28 = 35.429 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 29 = 34.207 — not a whole number
• 992 ÷ 30 = 33.067 — not a whole number
