Divisor Calculator

By definition, a divisor is a number that divides another number (the dividend) in a division operation, resulting in a quotient:

Dividend / Divisor = Quotient

This calculator focuses on obtaining those divisors of an integer dividend that result in an integer quotient: the divisors of an integer. You input the dividend, and we provide you with the divisor. For simplicity, the divisors of an integer are usually known as divisors or factors.

For example, we know 6 is a divisor of 24 because dividing 24 by 6 results in an integer: 24/6 = 4. Another factor of 24 is 2 because 24/2 = 12 (an integer number).

Instead of checking divisibility by direct division, we can use some rules for the smaller numbers and obtain the answer more quickly. The following list provides the numbers from 1 to 10, along with the requirements a number must fulfill to be divisible by them:

• 1: Any number is divisible by 1.
• 2: If the last digit is even.
• 3: The sum of the digits in the number is divisible by 3.
• 4: The last two digits form a number divisible by 4.
• 5: If it ends in 5 or 0.
• 6: If it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
• 7: Calculating these divisors is a bit more complicated. We discuss it in our factor calculator article.
• 8: If the last three digits form a number divisible by 8.
• 9: If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
• 10: If the number ends in 0.

Checking divisibility by higher numbers (such as 16 or 24) is a more laborious task, and the best option will probably be using this divisor calculator.
